White House staff, DNC officials 'miserable' as pressure builds on Biden to drop out: report

White House aides and Biden campaign staff are reportedly "miserable" as fear mounts that President Biden will be unable to continue his re-election campaign or serve for a second term.

All eyes are on Biden, 81, to prove that he is up to the task of campaigning against former President Trump as major Democratic Party donors pressure him to drop out in favor of a younger candidate.

"Everyone is miserable, and senior advisers are a total black hole," an unnamed White House official told Axios. "Even if you're trying to focus on work, nothing is going to break through or get any acknowledgment" from superiors. 

Axios reported comments from a "high-ranking Democratic National Committee official" who said, "The only thing that can really allay concerns is for the president to demonstrate that he's capable of running this campaign."

"Everything else feels like 'Weekend at Bernie's' by his inner circle to prop him up."
