Philadelphia (AFP) - US President Joe Biden was back out on the campaign trail Sunday, desperate to salvage his reelection bid as senior Democrats meet to discuss growing calls that he quit the White House race. The 81-year-old Democrat took the stage at a predominantly Black church in Philadelphia, part of a two-stop swing in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, before he hosts the NATO leaders' summit in Washington later this week. He is campaigning under an increasingly unforgiving spotlight, as pressure mounts for him to drop out after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last mon...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden heads back out on the campaign trail Sunday, desperate to salvage his re-election bid as senior Democrats meet to discuss growing calls that he quit the White House race. The 81-year-old Democrat kicks off a grueling week with two campaign rallies in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, before hosting the NATO leaders' summit in Washington. He will do so under an increasingly unforgiving spotlight, as pressure mounts for him to drop out after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last month ignited panic over his age and fitness to serve anoth...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden's presidential reelection bid hung in the balance Saturday, after his latest efforts to put a disastrous debate showing behind him failed to silence voices urging him to quit the White House race. Murmurs of dissent within his own Democratic Party have –- in the case of five individual House representatives -- morphed into direct calls for him to drop out. And a number of key donors have threatened to cut off funding if Biden insists on staying the course. "I do not believe that the President can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump," Angie Craig, the ...

Washington (AFP) - The White House communications strategy for dealing with President Joe Biden's dismal debate performance against Donald Trump appears to have only made things worse. In choosing what information about the president's physical and mental fitness to share, Biden and his staff have been unforthcoming, and even flippant -- one aide likened people calling for Biden to drop out of the race to babies wetting the bed. "The White House fumbled this," California lawmaker Katie Porter told CNN. "The presidential debate was awful for Joe Biden, but the cover-up has been worse," The Econ...

Washington (AFP) - While Americans were celebrating the July 4 holiday with fireworks and feasts, President Joe Biden on Thursday continued to face explosive fallout from his debate against Donald Trump that has left many Democrats hungry for a replacement. The 81-year-old has struggled since last week's debate to tamp down panic among his party, but he won the backing Wednesday of Democratic governors who gathered for an emergency meeting with him at the White House. However, a new and potentially damaging wrinkle emerged on Independence Day, with The New York Times reporting Biden told the g...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden is "absolutely not" pulling out of the US presidential race, his spokeswoman said Wednesday, as pressure mounted following his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. Panic has gripped his Democratic Party in the wake of last week's TV debate, and internal rumblings about finding a replacement candidate before November's election have been amplified by polls showing Trump extending his lead. The New York Times and CNN reported that Biden, 81, had acknowledged to a key ally that his reelection bid was on the line if he failed to quickly reassure the publ...

Scranton (United States) (AFP) - As residents of Joe Biden's hometown Scranton prepared to mark that most American of holidays -- July 4 -- many were also voicing alarm about the US president following his disastrous debate last week against Donald Trump. "I think he should never have done that (debate)," said Dennis Frison, 70, a retired food service worker as he smoked a cigarette outside the Pennsylvania coal mining town's buzzing Whiskey Dick's bar on Wednesday. Scranton has long been the heart of the political mythology around Biden, recalling his hardscrabble upbringing, repaying his aff...

Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela and the United States have agreed to "improve relations" as they resumed negotiations just months after Washington reimposed crippling sanctions on the South American country, Caracas said Wednesday. At an initial meeting, the two sides agreed on a "willingness" to work together to "improve relations," President Nicolas Maduro's top negotiator Jorge Rodriguez announced on X. They also agreed to "maintain communications in a respectful and constructive manner," he said. Maduro announced on Monday that talks would resume with the United States -- a longtime foe of the l...

Washington (AFP) - Democrats shocked by Joe Biden's dismal debate performance urged the US president Tuesday to be transparent about his mental fitness as he faced the first call from his own side to drop out of the election. Some supporters have expressed growing doubts about the 81-year-old's candidacy after last week's televised showdown with Donald Trump, when Biden stumbled over his words and lost his train of thought -- exacerbating fears about his age. Congressman Lloyd Doggett became the first Democratic lawmaker to publicly call on Biden to make way for another candidate, saying he wa...

New York (AFP) - A judge postponed Tuesday Donald Trump's sentencing for covering up hush money payments until September 18, the first fallout of a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, pushing it to after the Republican convention. The United States' top court ruled Monday that Trump enjoys some immunity from prosecution as a former president, a decision also set to delay his trial for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. Hours after the ruling was announced, Trump's legal team said in a letter to the New York court that the immunity ruling vindicated Trump's position that he sh...
