The full letter can be read below.

Last week, several House and Senate democrats urged the president to drop his reelection bid after what some called a disastrous debate with Donald Trump back in June. The two met for their first debate of the election season which later led to lawmakers publicly urging Biden not to run. 

Biden also contracted COVID-19 last week which also prompted many in the nation to question his health and condition.
