US presidential election: Joe Biden is not withdrawing
(franceinfo)
In the United States, the noose is tightening around Joe Biden. More and more Democrats, but also patrons of his party, worried about his state of health, are asking the American president to withdraw his candidacy for the presidential election. But the latter is hanging on.
Putting on a good face at all costs despite apparent fatigue. During a reception at the White House on Thursday, July 4, Independence Day of the United States, Joe Biden tried to reassure people about his ability to govern. After a brief speech on a teleprompter, the 81-year-old president took a walkabout before being challenged by a member of the audience. “Keep fighting, I have no intention of leaving”the American president responded.
Later, Joe Biden reappeared smiling and energetic to give the image of a serene president, far from the one displayed during his debate last week against Donald Trump, where he could not finish his sentences. Since then, his candidacy for the presidency has been questioned even though several Democratic governors have assured him of their support. But nothing is won yet.
