President Joe Biden reiterated his commitment to staying in the US election race on Monday, despite criticism and speculation about his health. The White House denied reports that Biden has Parkinson’s disease and called for respect in addressing the issue. Biden urged Democratic critics to challenge him at the upcoming party convention or support him against Donald Trump in November’s vote. He stated that it is time for the party to come together and defeat Trump. While some Democratic lawmakers have called for Biden to step aside, others have voiced their support. The pressure on Biden is mounting, especially as he prepares to face fresh scrutiny at the upcoming NATO summit in Washington. Trump believes that Biden will resist the pressure and continue in the race due to his ego. Despite the challenges, Biden remains determined to pursue the presidency. The White House released a letter from Biden’s personal doctor, affirming that he has not been treated for Parkinson’s. The White House also denied reports of concerns from NATO allies about Biden. The upcoming NATO summit and the Democratic caucus meeting will be crucial for Biden’s campaign. Despite trailing Trump in the polls, Biden remains focused and determined to win the election.
