WASHINGTON, July 4 Democrats lied about the condition of US President Joe Biden and will lose the election, said the campaign of former American leader Donald Trump.
«Trump will defeat any Democrat in the November 5th election because he has proven his agenda is to make America great again,» the Trump campaign said in a statement.
As the headquarters notes, Democrats now calling for Biden to leave the race supported him in the past. «Rest assured, the Democrats, the media and the swamp have conspired to hide the truth from the American public: Biden is weak, dishonest, a failure and unfit to hold office. They have all lied about his state of mind,» the statement said.
American media reported plans of a group of Democratic legislators to appeal to the US President to withdraw from the race. One of the members of the House of Representatives, Democrat Lloyd Doggett, publicly called on Biden to refuse to participate in the election in favor of an alternative candidate. Then his fellow party member and colleague Raul Grijalva, in an interview with reporters, said that other candidates should be looked for.
The White House, in turn, said that Biden is “as sharp as ever” and will not withdraw from the election.
As reported, Biden will meet with Democratic governors on Wednesday evening amid reports of their concern for the condition of the American leader.
The American media agree that Biden performed poorly at the first debate with Republican Trump, which took place on the night of June 28 in Atlanta. The current American president stammered and paused, not always clearly formulating his thoughts, and after the event, the television camera captured the moment when Biden’s wife, Jill, helped him down the stairs.
Now politicians and journalists are saying that Democrats may refuse to nominate Biden and replace him with another candidate. Theoretically, the party will have such an opportunity at the convention in August, but in practice it will be difficult to remove Biden, who won the primary election, from the race unless he himself refuses to participate. At the same time, the headquarters of the current president says that he is not going to give up and leave the race. According to some reports, he could be nominated as a presidential candidate as early as July 21, without waiting for the party congress in August, thus putting an end to the debate about whether he should participate.
The second debate between Biden and Trump is scheduled for September 10. The US presidential elections will be held on November 5.
