US President Biden is trying to get back on the campaign trail after his corona infection. Campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon vehemently denied rumors that Biden may withdraw.
Amidst speculation that he might withdraw, US President Joe Biden announced election campaign dates for the coming week. “I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week,” said a written statement from the US president, who is seeking a second term in the November election. Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, had previously vigorously denied any withdrawal.
Biden is currently at his beach house in the east coast state of Delaware due to a coronary infection. White House physician Kevin O’Connor said Friday that Biden’s main symptoms are still cough and hoarseness. But they have improved significantly since yesterday.
Biden criticizes Trump’s “dark” speech
“Together we will win,” declared Biden. At the same time, he criticized the “dark” speech of his opponent Donald Trump at the Republican convention. O’Malley Dillon previously said Biden is “absolutely” still in the race and is “more determined than ever to defeat Trump.” Biden is clearly “the best person to run against Donald Trump,” she emphasized on MSNBC. “The president himself has heard it several times: He is running to win, he is our candidate and he will be our president for a second term,” said the campaign manager.
At the same time, O’Malley Dillon admitted that the last few weeks had been “difficult” for the campaign team. “We have seen some decline in support,” but the amount is small, she continued.
According to US media, Biden plans to withdraw
US media previously reported that Biden, who was in poor health, was now planning to withdraw from the race for the White House. The New York Times quoted several voices from those close to Biden on Thursday as saying that the 81-year-old was beginning to accept that he would not be able to win against his rival Trump in the November election. The “Axios” news portal reported, citing party representatives, that Biden could drop out of the race for the White House as early as this weekend. The NBC broadcaster quoted a person close to Biden as saying: “We’re close to the end.”
