US President Joe Biden sees the upcoming election in the USA as a vote on the fate of the country. During a visit to his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, the Democrat said to his team: "The stakes are high, folks. We have an enormous obligation."

It is more of a "mission", the 81-year-old warned. "We must not, we must not, we must not lose this election campaign - for the good of the country. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart." It's not about him, it's about the future of the country.

Biden against Trump
Biden wants to run for another term in office in the presidential election on November 5. Anyone who wants to become a presidential candidate in the USA must first prevail in internal party primaries. This also applies to Biden. However, the incumbent has no serious competition in the internal party primary campaign.

Of the Republican presidential candidates, only former US President Donald Trump and former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley are still in the race. In national polls, Trump has a huge lead over Haley. The former US president also clearly won the first two primaries in the states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Haley is therefore considered to have little chance of ultimately prevailing against Trump. Everything currently points to a re-run of the election campaign between Biden and Trump. Biden's campaign managers had already stated days ago that they were firmly prepared for Trump to become the Republican presidential candidate. The candidates will be officially chosen at party conventions in the summer.
