Biden ‘absolutely not’ dropping out of presidential race, White House says

The White House has said that Biden is not considering stepping down from the presidential race, after speculation he was weighing whether to continue his candidacy for US president in the forthcoming election.

“The president is not dropping out,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a media briefing in Washington, DC. Cracks in support among Democratic leaders have emerged after Biden's debate performance against Donald Trump last week, which was blamed on a cold and jet lag

He had a cold? This administration has taken shamelessness to a whole new level.

[elzharvskyz]

If she told me it was raining outside i would check

[joetotale]

He had EIGHT days free of any engagements in order to prep for the debate.

[Greg-qr]

I've never seen such a charade in 30+ years.

[MrNackaerts]

Let him run, it's a guaranteed win for Trump.

[archimedesbird]

He'll remain the democrats' candidate?
This is great news for Trump

[Budanevey]

Just tell Joe this is the end of his 2nd term, he won't remember...

[Kgjl]

Biden can't drop out. He can't find his way off stage.

[superdaveozy]

Who is this and why is her suit chopped off at the sholders?

[CommonSenseH]

He had a cold, oh bless. What a load of tosh. The man is lost inside and outside of his head. Stop puppeteering him, its cruel.

[georgetimuri]

What an absolute disgrace this lady is being sent to do….

[Dalamain]

Thank you Karine for confirming Biden will be stepping down.

[MaryBransfield]

Ok if they are saying he definitely will not step down I think it’s now only a short time before he does or is forced. No way can a cold or Jetlag from a flight 12 days earlier cause what everyone witnessed during the debate, at the G7 meeting and various other times over the las two years.

[KingPaimon]

KJP aka "Sideshow Bob" is the worst press secretary ever

[ThomasKing]

Joe doesn't even know where he is.

[ilyakuryakin]

1. Under briefed
2. Information overload
3. Wrong time of day
4. Cold
5. Jet Lag

Not particularly harmful by themselves, but deadly when combined.

[robleedroid]

We are all fuked if we have to lie to each other. We need honesty

[jtlearn]

You can't believe anything she says

[No_Rice_No_Power]

Biden at the side with his mouth wide open and not blinking.

[pen]

What is she making excuses for him, how pathetic
