Joe Biden said his health is a ‘legitimate concern’ for voters but maintained he would not be leaving the presidential race.

Mr Biden came under pressure once again yesterday from members of his party to recognise the vulnerability of their position amid questions over his ability to lead. 

His recent gaffes at a Nato Summit on Thursday have only fuelled concerns that he is incapable after he mixed up the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky with Vladimir Putin and his vice president with Donald Trump. 

As he held a rally in the battleground state of Michigan, he cut a lonely figure as support from his party drained away and he fielded concerns from California Democrat Mike Levin in a virtual meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Following calls from Mr Levin to step aside, Mr Biden acknowledged that his achievements are not cutting through with voters like they did before. 

‘“That was great when you were feeling good, Biden — are you OK now?’ That’s what’s underlying. That’s what people are worried about,” he told Mr. Levin.

“It’s a legitimate concern for people, but that’s why I think it’s important — I’ve got to get out and show people everything from how well I move to how much I know and that I’m still in good charge.”
