Biden Firm on Presidential Bid Despite Debate Fallout and Poll Concerns
Joe Biden’s spokeswoman affirmed on Wednesday that he is “absolutely not” withdrawing from the White House race, countering speculation following his challenging debate performance against Donald Trump. Reports from The New York Times and CNN indicated Biden, 81, is keenly aware of the need to reassure the public about his capabilities, with his first post-debate TV interview scheduled for Friday.
Despite Biden’s acknowledgment that another poor debate could significantly impact his campaign, the White House dismissed suggestions of his potential withdrawal as untrue. However, within the Democratic establishment, concerns have grown over what’s seen as evasive responses from Biden and his team following the debate.
A recent New York Times poll, conducted post-debate, showed Trump with a significant lead over Biden, amplifying worries among Democrats about their prospects in November’s election. Progressive polling also suggested traditionally safe Biden states like New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico could now be competitive for Trump.
Amidst mounting apprehension within the party, Biden scheduled a meeting with all 23 Democratic governors to address concerns. He plans to campaign in swing states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in the coming days and will participate in his first interview since the debate with ABC News on Friday.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
