After the US president’s ill-fated TV appearance, calls for him to step down are growing louder. He himself did not want to know anything about it: “I don’t have a great evening, but I will still fight hard.”
US President Joe Biden continues his campaign after a poor performance in a televised showdown with Republican rival Donald Trump and calls for his resignation. “To serve his country, President Biden should drop out of the race,” wrote the prestigious New York Times. The 81-year-old said he would not give up on his candidacy while collecting campaign donations in New Jersey and the Hamptons near New York. “I understand the concerns after the debate,” Biden admitted. “I didn’t have a great night, but I will fight harder,” he insisted.
“The sooner Trump gets off the stage, the better.”
“There was only one person in the debate who was not qualified to be a presidential candidate. “The sooner Trump gets off the stage, the better off the country will be,” an email from Biden’s campaign team sent to party supporters. The data shows that the fight has not changed the views of the American public. “Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee, period,” another text reads. A “bedwetting force” will call for Biden’s recall.
On Saturday evening, Biden traveled to Camp David, the home of US presidents near Washington. There, Biden wanted to discuss the future of his campaign with family, NBC reported. The White House rejected this. The approach of the report is incorrect. Government headquarters insisted that the trip was planned ahead of the debate.
