Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden may be struggling to convince many Americans that he remains fit for office but he is enjoying votes of confidence, however delicately, from fellow Western leaders. Biden is fighting for his political life just as he leads a 75th anniversary summit of NATO in Washington, where he has been eagerly shaking hands, bear-hugging and patting backs of fellow leaders as he seeks to show a united front against Russia in defending Ukraine. Whether motivated by direct observation, fear of the return of Donald Trump or a simple reluctance to offend their host, no lea...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden will on Thursday give his first press conference since his debate disaster against Donald Trump, in a make-or-break moment for the fate of his teetering reelection bid. The eyes of the world will be on the 81-year-old's solo appearance at a NATO summit in Washington as concerns over his age and health spark growing calls in his Democratic Party for him to step aside. The White House has dubbed it a "big boy" press conference, and Biden will be under close scrutiny to show he can handle a rare unscripted moment in his presidency. Any missteps by Biden a...

Washington (AFP) - A Democratic senator on Wednesday called on US President Joe Biden to ditch his reelection bid, capping a brutal day that saw mounting pressure from high-profile actor and donor George Clooney and party heavyweight Nancy Pelosi. As the 81-year-old tried to show his leadership credentials at a NATO summit in Washington, domestic calls have been growing for Biden to quit following his disastrous debate performance against Republican challenger Donald Trump. At least eight House Democrats have openly called on Biden to not seek reelection, but Peter Welch became the first in th...

New York (AFP) - Actor George Clooney, one of the Democratic Party's leading fundraisers, on Wednesday made an impassioned plea for US President Joe Biden to end his faltering reelection campaign. Clooney -- a member of the Hollywood elite that provides key support to the Democrats -- joined a growing list of public figures calling for Biden, 81, to step aside after his faltering debate performance against Donald Trump last month. "I love Joe Biden," Clooney wrote in the New York Times. "I consider him a friend, and I believe in him... But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time...

Washington (AFP) - Anyone expecting Joe Biden to step aside from the US presidential race without a fight had not fully considered the life story of a proud but often stubborn man. From playground punch-ups to terrible tragedies and multiple White House bids, Biden has long seen his life as a series of comebacks against impossible odds. And as a Democratic revolt over his debate debacle against Donald Trump appears to sputter for now, the 81-year-old seems determined to win the fight of his political life. Unless a major shift occurs, it will likely fall to US voters to decide whether Biden st...

Washington (AFP) - With the pomp and pageantry of his official nomination just days away, Donald Trump's search for a running mate on the Republican presidential ticket is in the home stretch, with a trio of frontrunners jockeying to be first across the finish line. The former US president is seeking a number two who can walk the delicate line between helping mobilize Trump's right-wing base and staying in lane as a sidekick who won't hog the limelight or, worse, prove more popular than the boss. Trump is expected to make his choice public during next week's Republican National Convention in M...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden won much-needed support from senior Democrats and gave a confident NATO summit speech Tuesday, but doubts over his age and fitness continued to dog his reelection bid. The top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, held meetings with members about whether to ditch Biden as their 2024 candidate following his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden meanwhile tried to prove he still has what it takes on the world stage, addressing NATO leaders in Washington, DC for the alliance's 75th anniversary in a closely-watched spe...

Doral (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of invective against President Joe Biden on Tuesday, mercilessly assailing the embattled Democrat as he faces down calls to end his reelection bid after a disastrous debate performance. Trump's speech in Florida was his first public appearance since the clamor for Biden's withdrawal began gaining momentum, and the gloves were emphatically off as the Republican accused Democrats of lying to protect the president. "It's the biggest cover up in political history," Trump thundered near the start of a 75-minute speech, which focused alm...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden insisted again Monday he would not quit the US election race, as the White House denied he had Parkinson's disease following a disastrous debate performance. The 81-year-old dared Democratic critics to either challenge him at next month's party convention in Chicago or back him against Donald Trump in November's vote. The president lashed out in both a letter to Congress and a rare call to a television program, at the start of a critical week that includes a NATO summit in Washington where he will face fresh scrutiny. "I am firmly committed to staying in ...

Washington (AFP) - Since announcing his White House bid, Donald Trump has taken every opportunity to paint President Joe Biden as so weak and compromised that he would struggle to make it to November's election, let alone serve another four years. Yet with the Democratic president suffering perhaps the worst week of his political career, his Republican rival appears to have resisted what must have been a potent urge to get out in public and gloat. Trump's rally in Doral, Florida on Tuesday will be his first public event in 11 days, and only the second since Biden's prime-time televised meltdow...
