Pressure mounts on US president after debate

America's oldest president reaching out for his resolute first lady Doctor Jill Biden has been at his side since he left the debate stage. His number one political aide. They spent the day crisscrossing New York and New Jersey seeking to calm nervous donors, including a fundraiser hosted by Hollywood heavyweights Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick and Michael J Fox, wanting to reassure them that cash to the campaign is still flowing. $40 million received in two days, even after Friday's floundering performance. The with, with, with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Look the New York Times editorial board today calling his campaign a reckless gamble. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence. The greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election. This evening, he headed back to Camp David, where he and Jill will be joined by their children and their grandchildren. This family gathering had already been planned ahead of the debate, but the president is expected to discuss his future campaign with perhaps the only people with the power to convince him to step aside.
