Pure speculation, but I could see them asking Democrats to withhold judgment on calling for him to withdraw just for a short time in order to give him a chance to change the perception.

To be asked to step away after one bad debate performance is a shitty pill to swallow. Especially for a guy like Biden, whose performance in office has been outstanding IMO.
I think he’s holding on for the Stephanopoulis interview on Friday. He’ll either announce it then or hold that up as a “See! See! Paw Paw still has it”.
If the goal is to have the party hold their fire, I think you can see how it’s working in this thread. It makes people talk about it more, not less. Why would they want that if they don’t want to withdraw?
