Former Secretary of State and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton publicly expressed her support for current U.S. President and Democratic candidate Joe Biden on Friday. Biden has faced criticism for his performance in a recent debate against former President Donald Trump. Clinton emphasized the importance of the upcoming election, stating that it is a choice between a candidate who cares about the American people and their futures versus someone who is only focused on themselves. She declared her vote for Biden on social media.
Following the debate, Biden, 81, faced challenges to his candidacy as the Democratic nominee. Critics pointed out his physical awkwardness and occasional hesitance and incoherence during the debate. Trump was perceived as the winner of the debate by many polls. Despite this, Trump was not free from criticism himself. During a campaign rally in North Carolina, he defended his presidency and his ability to serve another term in office.
Clinton’s endorsement of Biden underscores the high stakes of the upcoming election, with both candidates facing scrutiny for their performances and policy positions. The clash between Trump and Biden is intensifying as the November election draws closer.
