US elections: Joe Biden is running, and Trump vows even if convicted – Al-Hiwar Al-Jazaeryia

A day after “Joe Biden” announced his desire to run in the US presidential elections in 2024, former US President “Donald Trump” pledged not to withdraw from the elections even if he was convicted of criminal charges, stressing that President “Joe Biden” is not eligible to run again.

Trump, who faces 34 felony counts in New York, said, however, that nothing would stop him from running until “conviction.” “I will never withdraw,” he added in an interview with “Fox News” television, stressing that this is not in his nature.

According to the American news site “Axios”, Trump is facing multiple criminal investigations, and he is the first former president in the history of the United States to face criminal charges after the judiciary charged him in the Manhattan court.

Trump, 76, questioned, in his first media appearance since appearing in court last week, the ability of 80-year-old US President Joe Biden to fight for re-election, his mental ability, and his apparent weakness.

Although the election system in the United States is the most democratic in the world, the conflict between the candidates is almost devoid of the smell of scandals and political equivocations that make the election process go through its worst, as happened in the last elections when former President Trump claimed that there were mistakes. He manipulated the counting of votes and asked the Supreme Court to stop the counting process. Major television networks cut his speech short and told the public that the president was spreading lies.
