United States President Joe Biden, 81, has faced growing calls to drop out of the presidential race against Republican rival Donald Trump since a disastrous debate in June.
President Joe Biden speaks at a news conference on the final day of the NATO summit in Washington, July 11, 2024. Just a few hours later at a press conference, Biden mistakenly referred to his Republican rival – former president Donald Trump – instead of his vice president Kamala Harris.
“But for those who already have their doubts, I'm not entirely sure that there is a particular number of neurological exams that President Biden could take and successfully pass, that would satisfy them.” Nevertheless, Aughenbaugh said Biden again showed great command about US foreign policy and has proven to be a “gritty and defiant” elected official.Lester Munson, non-resident fellow at the University of Sydney’s non-profit United States Studies Centre, agreed that Biden is “one of the most stubborn and self-confident” politicians in the US.
The most likely scenario at this point is that Biden stays on as the party’s presidential candidate and he loses to Trump in November, Munson told CNA’s Asia Now programme. Democratic presidential candidate and US President Joe Biden listens as Republican presidential candidate and former US president Donald Trump speaks during their debate in Atlanta, Georgia, US on Jun 27, 2024. As the Democratic National Convention – where party delegates select its nominees for president and vice president – draws closer, it will become more difficult for the party to go in another direction, Aughenbaugh pointed out.
When asked if anything could persuade Biden to consider dropping out of the race, Aughenbaugh said people should not underestimate how important fundraising is for running for elections in the US.George Clooney had penned
