US election: Joe Biden dispels doubts about the race for the White House with a strong message: “I know how to do this job”

US President Joe Biden has put an end to all speculation about his future presidential candidacy. After spending a weekend with his family following a disastrous performance, Biden, 81, sent a strong message.

Joe Biden responded by tweeting: “Friends, I know I’m not a young man, but I know how to do this job. I know how to tell the truth. » This tweet, accompanied by a video highlighting Donald Trump’s alleged lies during the presidential debate, aims to put an end to speculation about Biden’s candidacy.

Despite his shaky debate performance, Biden’s family urged him to stay in the race and criticized his team’s preparation for the debate, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Biden takes call after family weekend

Biden spent Sunday with first lady Jill Biden, her children and grandchildren at Camp David, originally for a planned photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. However, this rally also served to address Democrats’ anxiety following his debate performance. While acknowledging Biden’s lackluster performance, his family believes he is the person best suited to beat Trump and can continue to serve effectively as president. They questioned the strategy for preparing staff for the debate, indicating the need for better support in the future.

Post-debate Biden withdrawn

Since the debate, Biden’s campaign has worked to reassure donors and supporters who face increased scrutiny over his ability to stay in the race. Despite calls from some in the party for Biden to step down, his close advisers, including his wife and son, are encouraging him to continue his campaign.

Prominent Democrats have publicly endorsed Biden, highlighting his lifelong dedication to public service despite a poor debate performance. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina and Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia echoed the sentiment that Biden should continue to run based on his record and pointed out Trump’s lies during the debate.

However, concerns persist within the party about the debate’s impact. Former Sen. Tom Harkin has suggested that Democratic senators ask Biden to release his delegates and withdraw, allowing the convention to choose a new nominee. Despite those concerns, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez remain optimistic about the path forward, even as some committee members feel their concerns are being ignored.

In short, President Biden’s tweet and his family’s endorsement are intended to allay doubts about his candidacy as the Democratic Party grapples with the implications of his debate performance and strategizes for the upcoming election.
