Joe Biden ‘absolutely not’ considering withdrawing candidacy, White House spokeswoman says

“He remains in the race”hammered Karine Jean-Pierre before the press on Wednesday July 3. The White House spokesperson has categorically rejected the possibility that Joe Biden will withdraw his candidacy for a second term, despite very serious concerns about his health and mental acuity. The 81-year-old president does not plan “absolutely not” to throw in the towel, she said, nearly a week after a disastrous performance during her debate with Donald Trump. “I messed up”the main person concerned acknowledged this in an interview with a local Wisconsin radio station, the entirety of which is to be broadcast on Thursday.

The American executive is trying by all means to extinguish the fire rekindled by revelations from the New York Times and CNN. Both media outlets assure, based on confidences from anonymous sources close to Joe Biden, that the latter is indeed wondering about the future of his candidacy. Joe Biden plans to give an interview to the ABC television network on Friday and to hold a solo press conference the week of July 8, the objective being to prove his ability to express himself fluently, without a teleprompter.

A Democratic representative in the House of Representatives, Raul Grijalva, was the second to openly call on Joe Biden to “get out of the race”in an interview with New York Times. These calls have so far not found support among the party’s heavyweights, particularly among the Democratic governors, influential figures in American political life, with whom Joe Biden began a meeting early Wednesday evening. Some are considered possible future candidates for the White House, for example Governors Gavin Newsom of California, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, JB Pritzker of Illinois or Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
