Biden’s family tells him to stay in US presidential race

Al Jazeera  

First lady Jill Biden and son Hunter are among the most ardent supporters despite last week’s debate disaster. The family of United States President Joe Biden has told him to stay in the race for a second term in office despite a disastrous debate performance, as some family members criticised how his staff had prepared him for last week’s face-off against challenger Donald Trump. The New York Times, quoting people close to the situation, also said that Biden’s family was urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting. “The shade of retirement is now necessary for President Biden.” The day after the debate, the New York Times’s editorial board also called on Biden to step aside. “The question is, ‘Who has Donald Trump ever shown up for other than himself and people like himself?’ I’m with Joe Biden and it’s our assignment to make sure that he gets over the finish line come November.” Warnock, like Clyburn and others, highlighted 77-year-old Trump’s many lies during the debate, including about the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters, immigration and the outcome of the 2020 election.
