Biden, 81, has been criticized for his uneven performance in the debate. Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett became the first House Democrat tocall on Biden to withdrawas nominee Tuesday.
Despite some calls for him to step aside, most Democrats have continued to support Biden as the nominee.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told MSNBC on Tuesday that the president had "a bad night," but added, "He has judgment. He has strategic thinking and the rest."
Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who is running for reelection in Pennsylvania, threw his support behind Biden Monday afternoon when asked about the president's debate performance, telling reporters he is confident Biden can run a strong reelection race and serve a second term.
"No, I don't worry about that. Look, he had a bad night in the debate, but I think people know what's at stake," he said.
