Biden says 'I'm not going anywhere' as calls to quit race grow
SUMMARY
President Joe Biden, facing calls from many Democrats to end his re-election bid, declared, "I'm not going anywhere" during the Fourth of July celebrations. Biden, 81, is under scrutiny following a brutal performance at a June 27th debate with Donald Trump, raising concerns about his stamina and mental acuity. Hosting Independence Day festivities at the White House, Biden assured supporters he would continue his campaign. Abigail Disney, a major Democratic donor, has called for Biden to withdraw. If Biden steps aside, Vice President Kamala Harris is the leading contender. Biden's upcoming interview with ABC News and his campaign rally in Wisconsin are being closely watched. Concerns about his viability persist despite assurances from his allies.
