US presidential election: Joe Biden’s press conference does not reassure the Democratic Party
(franceinfo)
Joe Biden’s press conference on July 11 was a highly anticipated moment in the US election campaign. Calls for him to withdraw from the race for the White House for health reasons are growing.
In the middle of the NATO summit this week, Joe Biden wants to convince his own camp. Accustomed to slips of the tongue, the American president answered the first question during the press conference by stating: “I would not have chosen Vice President Trump to be vice president if I did not think she was qualified to be president.”He obviously meant Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaking at the summit in Washington, he announced the “President Putin”as he welcomed Ukrainian head of state Volodymyr Zelensky on stage, before recovering almost immediately. “I’m so focused on beating Putin!”he justified himself. Many Democrats doubt that the American president can still save his candidacy. Some have already said so publicly, without the calls for his withdrawal being heard for the moment.
