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".
