“I am a candidate and I will win again” the presidential election, US President Joe Biden said tonight.

The 81-year-old Democratic president reiterated in a speech in Wisconsin that he remains in the race for the November presidential election and “he won’t allow telefighting to erase years of work».

A little earlier, the Democratic governor of Massachusetts Maura Healy urged Biden “to listen to the American people and carefully consider whether he remains our best hope to defeat Donald Trump,” as concerns about the president’s health and mental state intensified after the disastrous telefight.

According to the Washington Post, Senator Mark R. Warner is trying to assemble a group of other Democratic senators who will ask Biden to drop out of the race. His spokeswoman, Rachel Cohen, neither confirmed nor denied that the senator believes Biden should retire. “Like many others in Washington and the country, Senator Warner believes these are critical days for the president’s campaign, and he made that clear at the White House“, she said in her statement.

As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr Warner is considered to have significant influence.

He also represents a State, Virginia, which o Biden he will need to win in November if he is to keep his re-election hopes alive.
