“I think it’s a bit strange for people in this country to speculate about who will win the next American elections. I think it’s very likely that the current president will win the election,” the German leader said.
“He is committed to the integrity and unity of his country,” Scholz added.
There have been concerns about Biden’s age and mental health, but the German chancellor dismissed them, saying the president’s mind was “very clear”.
“He is one of the most experienced politicians in the world, especially when it comes to international politics,” Scholz said.
“All I can say is this guy knows exactly what he’s doing,” he added.
The German Chancellor made the remarks ahead of a Ukraine peace conference due to be held in Switzerland.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that the war in Ukraine would only end if Kiev gave up its hopes of joining NATO and agreed to give up four Ukrainian regions claimed by Moscow.
Scholz called the proposal not serious, saying: “There can only be a peace that is beneficial for Ukraine and does not undermine its integrity and sovereignty. There can be no peace imposed by Russia.”
Scholz also stressed the importance of the G7 decision to use frozen Russian assets to lend $50 billion to Ukraine.
“I think this is a message to Ukraine that they can count on us. But it’s also a message to Putin that he shouldn’t just wait around and rely on the fact that support for Ukraine is going to wane,” he added.
