US President Joe Biden faces new questions over his candidacy for re-election after top Democrats - such as Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff - reportedly expressed concerns about his ability to win.

There are also reports from the Washington Post citing multiple associates that former President Barack Obama has told allies that Mr Biden's path to victory is greatly diminished, and that he needed to seriously consider his candidacy.

Mr Biden has repeatedly said he intends to stay in the race, despite the calls for him to step aside.
