If Joe Biden goes: how would it work – and who would replace him?
The president faces huge pressure to step aside from his campaign. But what would happen next?
New York | Joe Biden says he will remain in the White House race against Donald Trump, even as Democratic mega-donors, grandees and a growing list of lawmakers heap new pressure on him to step aside in the face of declining poll numbers and concern over his age and mental acuity.
