Biden may decide whether to remain in presidential race: Hawaii governor

President Joe Biden could make a decision within days whether to remain a candidate for reelection, said Hawaii's governor who participated in a recent meeting with Biden and other Democratic governors and whose family has known the president for years. And if Biden decides not to run, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told The Associated Press on Saturday that he believes the president will designate Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him on the ticket. I think the president stays in this race unless he feels that it is not winnable, or he feels that he has to hear other voices in his inner circle that he shouldn't run, Green said. If the president felt that he wasn't up to it and truly not up to it, he would step down." We'll probably know in the next couple of days how the president feels about all this, he said. Biden has repeatedly insisted that he will remain in the race against his likely Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump. But questions about Biden's mental acuity

Republicans turn focus to Harris as talk of replacing Biden intensifies

For years it's been a Republican scare tactic. A vote to reelect President Joe Biden, the GOP often charges, is really a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. It's an attack line sometimes tinged with racist and misogynist undertones and often macabre imagery. But after Biden's dismal performance at last week's presidential debate, which has sparked Democratic calls for him to step aside, what was once dismissed as a far-right conspiracy Harris replacing Biden could now have a chance of coming to pass. And Republicans, including Donald Trump, are ramping up their attacks. Trump and his allies have been rolling out new attack lines against Harris, insulting her abilities, painting her as Biden's chief enabler and accusing her of being part of a coverup of his health. It's an effort, campaign officials insist, that is not a reflection of their concerns about a potential change at the top of the ticket, given Biden's insistence he is not leaving the race. But in a post marking ...

Was sick during debate, only 'Lord Almighty' can drive me out: Biden

US President Joe Biden on Friday said he had a bad night and he was "exhausted and "sick during his first presidential debate with his Republican rival Donald Trump. He asserted that only the "Lord Almighty" could make him drop out of the race to win the November 5 election. Biden, 81, said this in a television interview, a week after his subpar debate performance in Atlanta on June 27 against Trump, following which some of his own party leaders started urging him to step down and his approval rating plummeted. Seeking his second term from his fellow Americans, Biden alleged that Trump is a pathological liar. "It was a bad episode. No indication of any serious condition. I was exhausted. I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and -- and a bad night," Biden told ABC News during his first interview after the debate, adding that his top party leadership are asking him to stay in the race. "Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible. Matter of fact the docs (doctors are

Biden rejects independent medical evaluation as he fights to stay in race

President Joe Biden, fighting to save his endangered reelection effort Friday, repeatedly rejected taking an independent medical evaluation that would show voters he is up for serving another term in office while blaming his disastrous debate performance on a bad episode and saying there were no indications of any serious condition." "Look, I have a cognitive test every single day," Biden told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, referring to the tasks he faces daily in a rigorous job. Every day, I've had tests. Everything I do. He insisted that he was not more frail and that he is still in good shape." He said he has an ongoing assessment by his personal doctors and they don't hesitate" to tell him if something is wrong. As for the debate, I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing," Biden said. He also insisted he was the most qualified to lead Democrats against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. That 22-minute interview, paired with a weekend campaign

Trump's lawyers seek to freeze classified docs case citing immunity ruling

Donald Trump asked a federal judge Friday to freeze the classified documents case against him in light of a Supreme Court ruling this week that said former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution. Trump's lawyers told US District Judge Aileen Cannon that the prosecution should be put on pause until she resolves pending defense motions that assert that Trump is immune from criminal charges in the case and that special counsel Jack Smith was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a 6-3 opinion Monday that presidents enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution for actions involving their core constitutional powers and are presumptively immune for all other official acts. In a separate concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that Smith's appointment was invalid because there is no law establishing the office of the special counsel. The request Friday underscores the potentially far-reaching implications of the high court's ...

I am running the race, going to win again: Prez Biden at Wisconsin rally

US President Joe Biden on Friday asserted that he is the presidential nominee of the Democratic party, he is in the race and will win the election again as he sought to clear all the doubts about the future of his candidacy for the November 5 elections. Over the past week, there has been speculation about him leaving the race, with increasing voices inside the party calling for his departure following his poor debate performance in Atlanta last week. On Friday, Biden sought to clear all such doubts. "We had a little debate last week. Can't say it was my best performance. But ever since then, there's been a lot of speculation. What's Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What's he going to do? Well, here's my answer. I am running and going to win again," Biden told his cheering supporters in the battle ground State of Wisconsin.

Biden heads into a make-or-break stretch for his imperiled prez campaign

President Joe Biden on Thursday opened a critical stretch in his effort to salvage his imperiled reelection campaign, arguing the stakes extend far beyond his own political prospects to the future of the country's economy and democracy itself. There is a growing sense that Biden may have just days to make a persuasive case that he is fit for office before Democratic support for him completely evaporates in the aftermath of his disastrous debate performance last week against Republican Donald Trump. In an interview with a Wisconsin radio station that aired Thursday, Biden said, The stakes are really high. I know you know this. For democracy, for freedom ... our economy, they're all on the line." He added: The president is the most powerful office in the world. But we need someone with wisdom and character." The interview on the Earl Ingram Show on the Civic Media Radio Network, taped Wednesday, was the part of a media and public events blitz that the Democratic president and his sta

Biden vows to keep running even as signs point to eroding support

A defiant President Joe Biden vowed on Wednesday to keep running for reelection, rejecting growing pressure from Democrats to withdraw after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about his readiness. But in an ominous sign for the president, a leading ally publicly suggested a way that the party might choose someone else. I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out," Biden said in a call with staffers on his reelection campaign, according to a top aide who posted his comment on the X social media platform. Biden was pulling every possible lever to try to salvage his reelection campaign talking to top legislators, pumping up his campaign staff and meeting later in the day with Democratic governors before a planned weekend blitz of travel and a network TV interview. But there were signs that support for Biden was rapidly eroding among Democrats on Capitol Hill. Rep. Jim Clyburn, a longtime Biden ally, said he would back a mini-primary i

Nikki Haley jabs top American journalist over Joe Biden's term prediction

Indian American politician Nikki Haley on Wednesday took a jibe at top American journalist George Stephanopoulos who had questioned her claim that President Joe Biden would not complete his first term and that voting for him would be a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Haley had said this to Stephanopoulos in an interview of the ABC News last year when she was a primary presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Haley has now suspended her campaign. "Believe me now, George?" Haley wrote on X, formerly Twitter, as she shared an edited clip from her interview with Stephanopoulos last year. The Republican leader's post comes amid media reports and internal murmurs in Democratic party that Biden should leave the election race amid his dismal performance in the presidential debate against his Republican rival Donald Trump. The post that Haley shared was captioned, "Biden is set to do his first post-debate interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. Here's George shouting over
