Moreover, Biden reaffirmed his status as the Democratic presidential nominee on Friday, asserting his commitment to the race and expressing confidence in securing reelection. Amid speculation and internal calls for his withdrawal after a criticized debate performance in Atlanta, Biden aimed to dispel uncertainties surrounding his candidacy ahead of the November 5 elections.
“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 going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What’s he going to do? Well, here’s my answer. I am running and going to win again,” Biden told his cheering supporters in the battle ground State of Wisconsin, PTI reported.
