Washington (AFP) - As the Democratic Party fights over whether Joe Biden should step aside before November's presidential election, rival Donald Trump has declined to join the pile-on. Biden's halting debate last week against Trump fuelled concerns among voters around the president's age and ability to govern -- fears that Republicans have often been eager to highlight. Yet the Trump campaign has now pushed back against the idea of Biden, 81, stepping down. Democrats dumping their own candidate would tip them into uncertainty just months before the election -- but it also carries risks for Tru...

Washington (AFP) - Democratic leaders rallied Sunday behind US President Joe Biden following his poor debate performance last week, as the White House denied a report he was meeting with family to assess his candidacy. No major party figures have broken ranks to call for Biden to step down, with prominent Democrats including past presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton voicing full-throated support amid a torrent of doubts from everyday Americans -- and even a call from the New York Times editorial board to move aside. The wave of party backing follows the 81-year-old's stumbling performance...

Atlanta (AFP) - A halting Joe Biden struggled Thursday to allay concerns he is too old for a second term in the White House in a fiery debate with Donald Trump marked by personal insults. A bombastic Trump lashed out at his successor, calling him a failure on the economy and the world stage. Biden looked to hit back, but his delivery was faltering as he spoke rapidly in a raspy, trailing-off voice, stumbled on his words and stared open-mouthed. His performance, after he spent the week secluded in preparation, sparked new concern within his Democratic Party as polls show Trump is tied or ahead ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - A bad tempered and unedifying US presidential debate between the two oldest candidates ever to run for office degenerated into a squabble over golfing prowess on Thursday. The first head-to-head in an already painfully long campaign saw 81-year-old Joe Biden and his 78-year-old challenger Donald Trump trade insults and accusations for 90 minutes on prime time television. There was name-calling: "You're the worst!" "No, YOU'RE the worst!" There were accusations: "You're a whiner!" And then they fought over their golf handicaps.

Atlanta (AFP) - Donald Trump accused Joe Biden on Thursday of doing a "poor job" on the US economy and of presiding over a disastrous rise in inflation -- reflecting how rising prices and the cost of living have become key issues ahead of November's presidential election. "He has not done a good job. He's done a poor job," Trump said during CNN's head-to-head debate with Biden in Atlanta, Georgia. "And inflation is killing our country. It is absolutely killing us.
