United States Lawmaker, PETER WELCH has called on President JOE BIDEN to withdraw from the upcoming November election, making him the first Democratic senator to do so. 

Hollywood star, GEORGE CLOONEY, a major Democratic Party fundraiser, also said President BIDEN should drop out.

Also yesterday, two more Democrat lawmakers from the House of Representatives, PAT RYAN and EARL BLUMENAUER, publicly asked President BIDEN to withdraw his candidacy.

The US leader has, however, vowed to continue with the campaign and has dismissed suggestions he is suffering cognitive decline.

President BIDEN is expected to take part in a press conference with newsmen today.
