There is no talk of President Joe Biden dropping out of his re-election bid and he plans to participate in a September debate against Republican Donald Trump, his campaign spokesman said today.

There is no question of withdrawing, then, for a completely different president on Friday after the 90 agonizing minutes he spent Thursday night confronting his 78-year-old Republican opponent amid half-finished sentences and a downcast expression.

In Raleigh, Joe Biden, with the help of a reporter, unlike last night, repeated all the attacks that fell apart during the debate, while boasting about his record of work and his ideas.

Donald Trump “is a crime wave in his own right,” he said, referring to the first former US president to be convicted by a criminal court and prosecuted in a series of cases.

At his side, his wife Jill Biden, who is heavily involved in this re-election effort, wore a dress that had the word “Vote” written all over it.

US media are reporting a wave of “panic” among Democrats, four months before the election and about six weeks before the convention that is expected to nominate the president.

Currently, however, no big names in the Democratic Party have publicly expressed this sentiment.

Joe Biden is now flying to New York for a ceremony honoring one of the first LGBTQ+ community mobilizations in the United States, in June 1969, and for a meeting with donors.

On Saturday, Biden will go to a fundraiser at the very posh Hamptons resort, an opportunity also to take the pulse of his financial backers, in a hugely expensive election campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledged that Joe Biden had a rough start to the debate but said he finished “strong” against an opponent who has ramped up false claims without ever losing his composure or composure.

The 59-year-old Democrat is currently campaigning in Nevada. Her name appears on the list of people who could replace Joe Biden if he leaves before November, among some prominent Democratic governors, such as Gavin Newsom in California or Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.
