Wilmington | Amid increasing calls from fellow Democrats to end his campaign for re-election, US President Joe Biden on Saturday gave no hint that he was considering stepping aside after a pair of defiant public appearances a day earlier. Biden, 81, is facing a slow-boil uprising from congressional Democrats and some influential donors who have grown concerned he lacks the capacity to defeat Republican Donald Trump, 78, in the November 5 election.
Even as his future will be debated on Capitol Hill, Biden will host dozens of world leaders at a high-stakes NATO summit in Washington and is scheduled to hold what is sure to be a closely watched press conference. On Saturday, US Representative Angie Craig of Minnesota became the first Democratic member of the House of Representatives in a battleground district to call for Biden to relent.
