They said that they are worried about his continuation in office.

While many have left it to Biden to step down others have aired their concerns to the party members. If Biden were to continue, they said that their concerns will be aired more vocally. It was earlier pointed out that top donors of the party have given Biden, two weeks grace time to improve his approval ratings. Many of them boycotted a recent event which was attended by Biden. Their concerns were only validated when Biden spoke to them using a teleprompter.
