The US president rejects speculation about his replacement
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has assured in an interview that the only way he would leave the race for re-election would be if ‘the almighty Lord’ came down and asked him to. However, Biden has ruled out this possibility, thereby rejecting claims within the Democratic Party and his electorate to replace him with a younger candidate with less impaired cognitive faculties.
Biden denies concerns about losing power
During the interview, Biden denied the concerns expressed by some members of the Democratic Party about the possible loss of power. He has stated that these concerns are ‘hypothetical’ scenarios and has reiterated that there is no one more qualified than him to be president and win this electoral race.
Biden defends his physical and mental condition
The American president has rejected the proposal of an independent medical evaluation to demonstrate his good physical condition to continue with his mandate. He has stated that he undergoes daily cognitive tests and that his personal doctors would not hesitate to tell him if something was wrong with his health.
Biden reflects on debate with Trump
Biden has acknowledged that the debate with former president Donald Trump was a bad episode and has attributed his performance to exhaustion. He has claimed that he didn’t listen to his instincts and that it was entirely his fault. However, he has assured that it was nothing serious and that he does not remember his intervention afterwards.
The internal crisis of the Democrats
Despite the speculation and criticism, the Democrats’ internal crisis continues. Some major party figures and donors have openly called on Biden to withdraw from the race. However, the American president has stated that he has no intention of doing so and that there is no one more qualified than him to be president.
