World Leaders Urge Biden to Win: 'Our Democracies Depend on It'
US President Joe Biden is urging Americans to consider the consequences of the country stepping back from the global stage, as he prepares for the November presidential election against his predecessor, Donald Trump.
Biden asked during a campaign event in Tampa, Florida, "Who would lead the world?" if the US were to withdraw, implying that Trump's policies could result in a power vacuum.
The two are set to face off in the upcoming election, which is a rematch of the 2020 polls.
President Biden shared that during international meetings with other world leaders, they express concern about the US election outcome and the impact it could have on their democracies.
Biden emphasized that the world is watching how the US handles the election, not just for the result, but also for the process.
He mentioned getting involved in politics as a child inspired by the Civil Rights Movement.
President Biden shared an update on his campaign's progress, expressing excitement over raising nearly half a billion dollars from over 1.6 million contributors.
