Questions surround President Joe Biden鈥檚 run for re-election this November. After an underwhelming performance in the first debate with Republican rival Donald Trump, calls for the incumbent to step aside and let somebody else stand as the Democratic candidate have grown louder within the party. With concerns over the president鈥檚 fitness for office hanging like a cloud, we look at whether or not the Democrats could nominate an alternative candidate without his agreement, and examine some of the contenders who could potentially enter the fray.

Host Caitr铆ona Perry speaks with the 鲍鱼tv's US Special correspondent Katty Kay and North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher about the president鈥檚 fight to stay on his party鈥檚 ticket.
