在国会民主党人的呼吁下，拜登总统拒绝放弃竞选连任。 President Biden declines to step aside from re-election bid amidst calls from Hill Democrats.

据报道，拜登总统在一封信中告诉国会民主党人，他“拒绝”下台，尽管有人要求他放弃竞选连任。 President Biden has reportedly told Hill Democrats in a letter that he "declines" to step aside, amidst calls for him to drop his re-election bid. 这封信是在议员们返回华盛顿之际发出的，他们面临两个选择：要么努力重启拜登的竞选活动，要么淘汰本党领袖。 The letter comes as lawmakers return to Washington, with a choice to either work on reviving Biden's campaign or edge out their party leader. 拜登强调，该党的首要任务是在 11 月击败共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普。 Biden emphasized that the party's priority should be defeating the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, in November.
