Biden Admits Debate Mistake but Vows to Stay in Election Race
US President Joe Biden has acknowledged that he “screwed up” during last week’s debate against Donald Trump but remains determined to continue his campaign. In an interview with a Wisconsin radio station, Biden admitted his stumbling performance was a mistake but urged voters to judge him based on his record in the White House.
Amid reports of internal discussions about his future, Biden sought to reassure senior Democrats, including state governors and campaign staff, on Wednesday. Concerns have arisen about the 81-year-old president’s fitness for office following the debate, which was marked by verbal missteps and a weak voice.
These concerns have led to increasing pressure on Biden to consider dropping out, especially as polls indicate his Republican rival is gaining a wider lead. Despite this, Biden remains committed to his campaign and addressing the issues raised by his performance.
