The American president is meeting Sunday, June 30 and until Tuesday at Camp David, around his family, to “discuss the future of his campaign”. After the disastrous debate against Donald Trump, Thursday evening, the Democratic ranks are trying to reassure.
It is from a seemingly innocuous detail in his schedule that the conjectures have started. With his wife, American President Joe Biden met his children and grandchildren at Camp David on Saturday evening, where he will stay until Tuesday. In the wake of the disastrous debate that opposed him to Donald Trump, showing him aged, vague and often incoherent, Biden was to take advantage of this stay at the vacation residence of the President of the United States, in Maryland, to “discuss the future of his re-election campaign with his family”NBC News said early Sunday morning. In the article, anonymous Democratic sources estimate that “only the President, in consultation with his family, can decide whether to move forward or end his campaign prematurely”. Even more so for a President accustomed to only taking advice from his clan. Biden’s campaign was quick to brush aside any possibility that he would throw in the towel, recalling that the stay at Camp David had been planned for a long time. And to insist that during the presidential election next November, “Joe Biden is and will be the Democratic candidate.”
