In a closely watched speech at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, US President Joe Biden pledges to remain in the race after last week’s disastrous debate performance.
“You’ve probably heard, we had a little debate last week. Can’t say it was my best performance. But ever since then, there’s been a lot of speculation. What’s Joe gonna do? Is he gonna stay in the race? Is he gonna drop out? What’s he gonna do?”
“Well here’s my answer: I am running, and I’m gonna win again,” Biden says to cheers.
“I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party because millions of Democrats like you just voted for me in primaries all across America. They voted for me to be your nominee — and no one else.”
“Let me say as clear as I can: I’m staying in the race. I’ll beat Donald Trump,” Biden continues.
“When you get knocked down, you get back up. I’m not letting one 90-minute debate wipe out more than three and a half years of work,” he asserts.
