Scholz: confident Biden will win re-election as US president

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday he was confident U.S. President Joe Biden would win re-election, partly as he was committed to ensuring social cohesion which would enable him to fight Trumpism and similar movements.

"I really do believe that President Biden will be successful in his bid for re-election, because he is not just an experienced politician, but also someone who really works for social cohesion in his own country," Scholz, a Social Democrat, said in a wide-ranging, hour-long interview with Germany's ARD broadcaster.
