Every day, more Democrats dare to publicly call on Joe Biden to withdraw from the election campaign. He is currently taking a forced break due to the corona virus. But it should not last much longer.
Amid speculation about a possible withdrawal of Joe Biden from the US presidential race, the Democrat has announced further campaign events for the coming week. “I look 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 the November election.
Biden had to temporarily pause his campaign appearances due to a coronavirus infection. He is currently isolating himself in his private home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
The 81-year-old is under massive pressure in his own party because of his age and doubts about his mental fitness. Every day, more Democrats are calling on their party colleagues to drop out of the presidential race. There are now increasing signs that Biden might actually do that – according to media reports, he is no longer categorically ruling out such a step.
The very first row of Democrats is now also trying behind the scenes to persuade Biden to step down. In recent weeks, Biden’s deputy Kamala Harris has increasingly come into focus as a possible replacement.
Publicly, the US President has so far rigorously rejected all calls for withdrawal from his own ranks. In his statement, with a view to the further election campaign, he wrote that he wanted to continue to warn the people of the country about the danger posed by the policies of his Republican opponent Donald Trump and at the same time promote his own vision for the country. “There is a lot at stake,” he warned. “Together we will win.”
