Biden's family has stressed that any exit plan should ensure that Democrats are left in the strongest position to beat Trump.
Numerous elected Democrats, including Senator Jon Tester from Montana, have called on Biden to step aside, citing doubts about his ability to continue on as commander-in-chief for another four years.
Ocean's Eleven actor George Clooney has also spoken out about Biden potentially dropping out, writing his own op-ed that read: "The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."
Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, TV showrunner Damon Lindelof and Disney heir Abigail Disney have all joined the list of high-profile names who believe the Democratic party need to select a new nominee by the convention.
