“I’m back in the running.” Joe Biden allows himself a joke after the briefing at the White House. The president of the United States answers journalists’ questions ranging from the crisis in the Middle East to the upcoming elections on November 5, when Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will compete for the presidency. Biden is bombarded with questions and manages to manage the ‘siege’ of reporters thanks to the collaboration of spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre.

As Biden leaves the press room, the journalists try to ‘throw’ the last questions. There are those who are asking for clarification on the possible decision to grant Ukraine the OK to use long-range weapons in Russian territory. Biden keeps going and doesn’t respond. “Do you want to review the decision to abandon the race?” asks a journalist, referring to the withdrawal of the candidacy. Biden turns and replies: “I’m back in”, “I’m back in the running”, he says amid general laughter.
