US President Joe Biden has said he is “looking forward” to getting back on the campaign trail next week, after testing positive for Covid-19.

But, despite his commitment to stick in the race ahead of the US election, more Democrats have called for him to step aside as the party nominee.

In recent weeks, Biden has been caught in a whirlwind of political pressure to step down, but in announcing his return to the campaign, he said “The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win”.

    Everyone: “please quit!” Biden: “never!”

    As a Republican, I urge Joe to stay in the race.
  • One minute he's going, the next he ain't going nowhere. Let's be honest, the press haven't got a clue what's going on.

    He won't be back. He's saying he will, but something will happen between now and then and he won't be back.

    Amazing. Nothing on the Leeds riot. I don't understand why our own institutions hate us.
  • @jonahspiper
    Only Biden will decide to step aside, or fall over.

    Stairs: hold my beer... 😐🍺
  • bbb-but I thought Trump was the one who would not give up power. I'm so confused. I thought Biden said he would just be a transitional president to a younger generation. I'm so confused. I thought Biden was winning. All of the media told me that Biden was winning and in great health. I just don't know who to beleive. I wish the media would tell me what to think about this.

    I guess that 10th booster vaccine kicked in. It's a miracle.
  • It will be Dr Jill & Hunter who decide if Biden carries on. They are going to need a very good incentive to drop out of the Presidential race. Also, Hunter needs daddy to stay in power for as long as possible while his legal matters are being sorted out.
