WASHINGTON. – US President Joe Biden vowed to push on with his re-election bid on Monday, dismissing the concerns of some fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill and donors that his persistence could cost their party the White House and Congress in the November election.
Biden, 81, said any candidates who doubt his ability should challenge him at the Democratic National Convention in August – an effort that stands no chance of success unless he lets the delegates he won in primaries this year consider other candidates.
“The bottom line here is that I am not going anywhere,” Biden said.
He faces a critical week as he tries to shore up a campaign that has been on defense since a shaky June 27 debate against Republican Donald Trump, which raised questions about his ability to do the job for another term.
Since the debate, a growing number of congressional Democrats have voiced concern that worries about Biden’s age and ability, on top of his poor public approval ratings, could hurt their prospects for retaining the Senate. – CGTN.com
