Issued on: 04/07/2024 - 

After a universally criticized debate performance last week, questions around US President Joe Biden's ability to run again are higher than ever. Concerns raised within the Democratic party have led to several highly-ranked officials of the party asking for him to step down. Biden has responded by reaffirming his intention to run. Christian Hanley, strategy consultant to the Democratic Party, speaks to FRANCE24 about the steps he must take to resolve doubts about his second term capabilities.

Sweet Home Chicago: Democratic party in unique position not seen since 1968 US presidential election

Issued on: 04/07/2024 - 

President Joe Biden opened a critical stretch in his effort to salvage his imperiled reelection campaign, arguing the stakes extend far beyond his own political prospects to the future of the country's economy and democracy itself. There is a growing sense that Biden may have just days to make a persuasive case that he is fit for office before Democratic support for him completely evaporates in the aftermath of his disastrous debate performance last week against Republican Donald Trump. On a July 4th like no other, as Biden seeks to reset and revitalise a campaign currently on life support, FRANCE 24's François Picard is joined by Dr. Andrew Smith, Director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and Professor of Political Science and International Affairs.
