First US Democrat congressman calls on Biden to withdraw
Biden, at the age of 81, the oldest president in US history, spoke with a hoarse voice and became tangled in his phrasing, leaving some sentences incomplete during the TV debate with his prospective challenger Donald Trump on CNN Thursday evening.
So far, the heavyweights in the Democratic Party have publicly expressed their support for Biden. However, after the debate, the anxiety and concerns of his supporters and donors have increased. Some accuse Biden's inner circle of a lack of transparency regarding his abilities.
Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House and a Democrat, told MSNBC on Tuesday that it was "legitimate" to express concerns about Biden's fitness for the presidency after the debate. She considered it "legitimate" to ask whether it was an "episode" or a "permanent condition," Pelosi, who is 84, added.
She is not a doctor and couldn't say what would happen in the coming years, Pelosi continued. However, in her opinion, Biden would continue to be an excellent US president.
