US President Joe Biden has acknowledged his underperformance in the recent debate against Donald Trump, but reaffirmed his commitment to continuing his presidential campaign.
In a radio interview, he attributed his stumbling performance to a “mistake” and urged voters to evaluate his presidency instead. Amid speculation about his potential withdrawal, Biden reassured key allies, including state governors and campaign staff, that he remains the Democratic nominee.
Vice-President Kamala Harris joined him on a campaign call, reiterating her support. Despite growing concerns about his fitness for office and polls indicating a widening lead for Trump, Biden has vowed to press on.
The Biden-Harris campaign emphasized his commitment to running in a fundraising email. The president’s remarks aim to quell rumors about his potential departure and reassure supporters of his dedication to the election.
