According to ChainCatcher, US President Biden said he will resume his campaign next week. Biden issued a statement on Friday saying: "I look forward to returning to the campaign next week to continue to expose the threats of Trump's 2025 agenda while defending my own achievements and my vision for the United States."

Biden is currently isolating at his residence in Delaware after he tested positive for COVID-19 and had mild symptoms. Doctors said Biden's COVID-19 symptoms have improved significantly. After Trump's assassination attempt last weekend, the Biden campaign pulled TV ads attacking Trump and suspended other political communications.

Although Biden has expressed a strong desire to continue to run for the election, the pressure on him from the Democrats is increasing. Publicly, Democratic lawmakers have been calling on Biden to withdraw from the election. Former US President Obama previously said that Biden's chances of winning the election have greatly decreased and he should reconsider whether he can win. Former US House Speaker Pelosi recently told Biden in a private call that polls show that he cannot defeat Trump.

Biden's latest statement came hours after media reports that his family had begun discussing a possible exit plan were quickly refuted by the White House.
