Joe Biden facing pressure to end Presidential campaign

Dozens of US Democrats agree that President Joe Biden should leave his election campaign. There are concerns about his ability to run again with Vice President Kamala Harris being considered to replace Biden as the Democratic Party's candidate. Harris has however offered her full support for Biden staying in the race.
