June 2024 United States presidential debate

A defiant Joe Biden insisted Thursday that he will run for another term as U.S. president and beat Donald Trump, as a string of verbal gaffes at a major summit threw a harsh new spotlight on his fitness.

President Joe Biden insisted again Monday he would not quit the U.S. election race, as the White House denied he had Parkinson's disease following a disastrous debate performance.

The 81-year-old dared Democratic critics to either challenge him at next month's party convention in Chicago or back him against Donald Trump in November's vote.

According to two recent polls published in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, former President Donald Trump holds a 6% lead over current President Joe Biden among American voters in the race for the White House.
