US President Joe Biden has "absolutely no intention" to withdraw his candidacy for a second term, the spokeswoman said today, at a time when questions about the sharpness of his mind are multiplying after the disastrous performance during the debate with Donald Trump, AFP reported, quoted by BTA.
The Democrat "continues to campaign", "he remains in the race," insisted Karin Jean-Pierre at a briefing. Asked by a journalist if the 81-year-old president was considering stepping down, the spokeswoman replied "absolutely not".
Earlier today in the "New York Times" wrote that the US president has told an ally that he knows he may not be able to save his candidacy if he fails to convince the public in the coming days that he is right for the job after his performance in last week's debates. The White House dismissed the claim as false.
