Shares of chip designer Marvell Technology Group (NASDAQ: MRVL) have not seen the expected rise despite reporting significant growth in artificial intelligence (AI) chip sector.

During a debate on June 27 against Republican opponent Trump, 81-year-old Biden showed hesitation and stuttering, raising concerns about his stamina and condition. Despite nearly three-quarters of registered voters believing Biden should not run for president again, no prominent Democrats have called for his withdrawal. Even heavyweights like Obama and Clinton have come out in full support. While some donors blame Biden's campaign staff's strategy for his poor performance, Biden's family strongly encourages him to continue running. Biden's family support, combined with Democratic efforts to dispel doubts, solidifies his stance as the candidate unless he voluntarily withdraws, as the Democratic Party cannot replace him without his withdrawal due to having won enough votes in the primaries.
