“I’ll be back in the campaign” –

“I will be back on the campaign trail next week.” This was announced by US President Joe Biden, who is in isolation following contracting Covid-19. “I look forward to returning to the campaign trail next week to continue to call out the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda,” Biden said in a statement. “Donald Trump’s dark vision of the future is not ours as Americans. Together, as a party and as a country, we can defeat him at the ballot box,” he added.

As for the request to step back, the American president would feel “personally hurt and betrayed” by the way in which many important Democratic exponents have somehow abandoned him as a candidate in the race for the White House. NBC writes this, citing two sources familiar with his thoughts. In private, in fact, many of them have expressed “doubts” regarding his future path. NBC notes that former President Barack Obama only wrote a tweet of support following Biden’s poor performance in the debate once morest Donald Trump while Bill and Hillary Clinton did nothing publicly, apart from publishing a tweet each immediately following the debate on June 27. The article also cites the Democratic leader of the House Hakeem Jeffries and the leader of the majority of the Senate Chuck Schumer, as well as Nancy Pelosi. Publicly, all three have said they will support any decision made by Biden, but behind closed doors they have expressed their doubts.
