Debate about candidacy - Biden announces new campaign rallies
Amidst speculations about a possible withdrawal of Joe Biden from the US Presidential race, the Democrat has announced more campaign rally events for the coming week. "I am looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week," said a written statement from the US President, who is seeking a second term in office in the November election.
Biden had to pause his campaign appearances due to a coronavirus infection. Currently, he is isolating himself at his private home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
The 81-year-old is under heavy pressure within his own party due to his age and doubts about his mental fitness. Every day, more Democrats are calling on their colleague to withdraw from the race. Recently, signs have been growing that Biden might actually do so – media reports indicate that he is no longer ruling out this step categorically.
Kamala Harris as a replacement for Joe Biden in the race
The first in line of the Democrats are reportedly trying to move Biden towards a withdrawal behind the scenes. Kamala Harris, Biden's Vice President, has been increasingly in the spotlight as a potential replacement.
Publicly, the US President has so far rigorously rejected all withdrawal demands from within his own ranks. In his statement, he looked towards the further campaign, stating that he wanted to continue warning the people of the country about the danger of his Republican opponent Donald Trump's politics and at the same time campaign for his own vision for the country. "There's a lot at stake," he urged. "Together, we will win."
Despite facing pressure within his party to step down due to health concerns and age, US-President Joe Biden has refused to withdraw from the campaign, emphasizing the importance of continuing his fight against his Republican opponent's politics and promoting his vision for the country. Despite his current isolation at home due to a Coronavirus infection, Biden has announced more campaign rally events for the coming week.
