US President Joe Biden has reaffirmed his commitment to continue his reelection campaign while recovering from a COVID-19 diagnosis. The 81-year-old leader is currently isolating at his Delaware residence but plans to return to the campaign trail soon. Biden's declaration comes as Trump accepted the Republican nomination, delivering a speech that Biden and his campaign criticized for its divisive rhetoric. The Biden-Harris campaign contends that Trump's agenda is a threat to democracy. Despite Biden's diagnosis and isolation, he remains steadfast in his mission to counter Trump's vision and deliver on his own promises for America.
Addressing his rival's keynote speech at the Republican National Convention, Biden accused Trump of focusing solely on grievances without offering plans to improve the nation. The President stressed that Trump's 'Project 2025' agenda remains a danger to American values. He further noted that Trump's speech reinforced extremism under the guise of MAGA (Make America Great Again) rhetoric.
The campaign underscored their stance by labeling Trump as a figure consumed by revenge and extremism, unfit to unite the country. Meanwhile, Biden's sudden exit from the campaign trail due to his COVID-19 diagnosis has led some Democrats to question his capacity to defeat Trump in the upcoming election.
