President Biden is publicly showing no signs of stepping back and held a virtual meeting with governors on Wednesday to try to reassure them he's up to the job.
Donald Trump has claimed Joe Biden is quitting the presidential race after his poor performance in last week's debate and criticised vice president Kamala Harris as 'so f*****g bad'. He made the comments in a clip on his Truth Social site that showed him speaking from a golf buggy. Mr Biden's showing against Trump was widely criticised and has led to growing concern about his health and some calls for him to quit November's election - but he's insisted he will carry on.
Questions over his mental acuity have escalated in recent months after he appeared to freeze during several public appearances. Mr Biden's nomination to go up against Trump is set to be rubberstamped at the party's convention in August and the only realistic way he could be replaced is if he decided himself to step down. If he did quit, Kamala Harris would likely be a contender - while California governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer are also being tipped.
