ALBAWABA - Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he will never withdraw from the presidential race for the White House, despite the criminal charges against him.
Trump, who faces 34 criminal charges in New York in the case of paying hush-money to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 elections, said in media statements that nothing prevents him from running for the presidency "even if convicted of criminal charges."
"I will never quit," Trump said, "It's not in my nature. I do not do that."
Trump's interview with Fox News was his first major media appearance since he was arraigned in a Manhattan court last week.

"I don't see Biden being able to do that either physically or mentally," Trump said.
