Washington: US President Joe Biden is "absolutely" staying in the race for the White House, his campaign chair said Friday, despite mounting pressure from Democratic allies to step aside over worries about his age and health.
Jen O'Malley Dillon acknowledged there had been some "slippage" in support since the 81-year-old's disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, but insisted he would still win in November.
"Absolutely the president's in this race," Jen O'Malley Dillon told MSNBC's Morning Joe program. "Joe Biden is more committed than ever to beat Donald Trump."
She added: "You have heard from the president directly time and again, he is in this race to win, and he is our nominee, and he's going to be our president for a second term."
Biden is currently holed up at his beach house in Delaware self-isolating with Covid.
