Las Vegas (AFP) - US President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms Wednesday, shortly after conceding he would consider dropping his reelection bid if doctors diagnosed him with a serious medical condition. The 81-year-old Democrat gave reporters the thumbs up and said "I feel good" as he cut short a trip to Las Vegas and flew to his beach home in Delaware to go into isolation, which will take him off the campaign trail for days. Biden thanked well-wishers on X, adding that "I will be isolating as I recover, and during this time I will continue to work to get the job done fo...

Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) - Representative Adam Schiff on Wednesday became the most heavyweight Democrat so far to publicly urge US President Joe Biden to step aside for another candidate to face Donald Trump. He called on his ally to "pass the torch." Schiff, a key congressional powerbroker, praised Biden but told the Los Angeles Times that he doubts that the 81-year-old incumbent can defeat Trump -- a threat to "the very foundation of our democracy." The Californian, who is expected to win a Senate seat this November, is one of the party's most influential members and a key ally in t...

Washington (AFP) - US Democrats said Wednesday they plan a sped-up virtual nomination for President Joe Biden in the first week of August, despite a backlash from some lawmakers who want him to step aside. Some Democrats have slammed the plans for a remote vote, accusing the party of trying to ram through Biden's candidacy instead of waiting for the party's convention in Chicago starting August 19. The move comes as a new poll showed that nearly two-thirds of Democrats want the 81-year-old to withdraw after a dismal performance in a television debate against Donald Trump raised concerns about ...

Las Vegas (AFP) - US President Joe Biden resumed political attacks against Donald Trump on Tuesday for the first time since the assassination attempt on his rival, as the Democrat sought to prop up his own faltering reelection bid. Biden did call anew for Americans to lower the temperature of their heated politics, and sought a ban on the type of gun used in the shooting at his Republican opponent's political rally. But as he returned to the campaign trail with a speech to crucial Black voters at the NAACP advocacy group in Las Vegas, Biden did not hold back against Trump, who was injured in t...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden defended both his "mental acuity" and his rhetoric about Donald Trump Monday, in a second TV interview aimed at ending calls for him to quit his reelection bid following a disastrous debate. The 81-year-old delivered an often combative defense of his mental and physical fitness for office during the one-on-one with broadcaster NBC, which nevertheless featured some of the word salads that have worried Democrats. "I'm old," Biden told host Lester Holt in the interview at the White House. "But I'm only three years older than Trump, number one. And number ...

Washington (AFP) - The assassination attempt on Donald Trump has forced Joe Biden's campaign to dial down its attacks for now, with the US president admitting he was wrong to say his rival should be put in the "bullseye." But Biden has more broadly defended his rhetoric describing his Republican predecessor as a threat to democracy, and is signaling he will not hold back for long while criticizing the man he beat in 2020. When Biden urged Americans to "lower the temperature" in a rare Oval Office speech on Sunday after the Trump shooting, it seemed it could deprive him of his core attack line....

Washington (AFP) - Senator Bernie Sanders, a prominent figure of the US political left, on Saturday threw his support behind Joe Biden's White House campaign, dismissing calls for the president to withdraw from the race over health concerns. "Enough! Mr Biden may not be the ideal candidate, but he will be the candidate and should be the candidate," independent senator Sanders wrote in a New York Times column, adding that "it's time for Democrats to stop the bickering and nit-picking." Sanders's column comes amid steadily growing calls from Democratic officials and donors for the 81-year-old Bi...

Detroit (AFP) - A fired up Joe Biden again rejected speculation he would quit the US presidential race and tried to turn the spotlight on rival Donald Trump as he took his crisis-hit reelection bid back on the campaign trail Friday. But as he addressed a lively rally in the battleground state of Michigan, the drumbeat of Democrats urging the 81-year-old Biden to step aside kept getting louder following a disastrous debate performance against Trump. "There's been a lot of speculation lately. What's Joe Biden going to do, is he going to stay in the race, is he going to drop out?" Biden told sup...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden has for years been called the rambling uncle of US politics, prone to verbal slips and meandering sentences, but now the whole world is watching. Everything changed at his disastrous debate last month with Donald Trump, when more than 50 million viewers were confronted by a president who went on tangents, failed to finish phrases and looked altogether lost. But Biden's struggles with communication are hardly new. He overcame a childhood stutter that can re-surface, and he went on to earn a reputation for both blunders and verbosity in a half-century caree...
