The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has announced that next week he will resume his campaign events for the November elections, after contracting Covid-19 and being in quarantine at his home in Delaware. This announcement comes amidst a tense political climate, marked by criticism of Biden's management and public calls from members of Congress for him to resign his candidacy in favor of someone younger. Biden's campaign issued a statement criticizing the "dark vision" presented by former President Donald Trump during his speech at the Republican convention in Milwaukee. In contrast to Trump's somber tone, Biden expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the electoral campaign and continuing his path towards the November elections. Trump's speech, which lasted an hour and a half, addressed topics such as the alleged assassination attempt he recently suffered, national unity, and conspiracy theories about electoral fraud in the 2020 elections. In addition, the former president resumed his anti-immigrant rhetoric, sparking criticism and debates in the American political environment. The call for Biden to withdraw from the presidential race arose after his debate with Trump on June 27, where his performance was criticized due to his age -81 years old, making him the oldest president in U.S. history- and some evident difficulties in expressing himself clearly and concisely. Pressure on Biden to reconsider his candidacy has intensified in recent days, with voices suggesting that his aging image and expression problems could be obstacles to electoral success. However, the president has reiterated his commitment to the campaign and his desire to resume his political activities despite the criticisms and requests against him. The announcement that Biden will return to the campaign next week raises expectations in a political scenario marked by uncertainty and polarization. The president's decision to resume his campaign events could be crucial for the future of his candidacy and for the political direction of the United States in the coming months. In a context where the Covid-19 pandemic continues to affect the daily lives of Americans, the resumption of Biden's campaign events poses logistical and security challenges that must be effectively addressed to ensure the health and well-being of all involved in the electoral process. With the upcoming November elections in sight, Biden's reappearance on the national political scene promises to reignite the debate about leadership, experience, and the president's ability to confront the challenges and crises affecting the United States at a crucial moment in its history.
