South Carolina Representative James Clyburn has said that US President Joe Biden should remain in the race for a second term, giving a boost to the president amid growing calls to step aside after a disastrous debate performance underscored concerns about his age.
In a TV interview on Friday, Clyburn, a close ally of Biden who played a key role in his victory in the 2020 presidential primary, said discussion about the president’s fitness to run should end.
