White House says Biden ‘staying in the race’ for re-election
In a recent radio interview, Joe Biden admitted to having a “bad night” during the CNN presidential debate against Donald Trump, acknowledging that he “screwed up” on stage. Despite mounting pressure for him to step aside, Biden has vehemently denied any intention of dropping out of the race and has been meeting with Democratic governors to reassure them of his readiness for the upcoming election. However, Trump has taken the opportunity to spread lies, posting a video on Truth Social falsely claiming that Biden has already quit the race, further exacerbating the crisis engulfing the Democratic party.
Trump’s continuous spread of lies and misinformation poses a significant threat to democracy, as it undermines the integrity of the electoral process and erodes public trust in the political system. By perpetuating falsehoods and sowing seeds of doubt, Trump is actively working to destabilize the democratic foundation on which the country is built. It is crucial for the media and the public to remain vigilant in calling out these lies and holding those in power accountable for their actions.
