US President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure to drop out of the re-election race following concerns about his age and performance, despite his claims of fitness and determination to defeat Donald Trump. A televised interview with ABC News aimed to address his poor debate showing and health, attributing it to exhaustion and a bad cold. Biden's attempts to relate to minorities and reassure voters of his capability after the debate have been met with skepticism, with calls for him to step aside for a more viable Democratic candidate like Ketanji Brown Jackson. The outcome of these challenges looms large over Biden's candidacy and the future of the Democratic party.
