In the wake of a widely criticized debate performance on Thursday night, there have been growing calls from left-wing politicians, commentators, and activists for Joe Biden to step down in favor of a candidate not rumored to be suffering from a form of dementia.
However, it appears that Biden remains resolute in his decision to stay in the race.
Biden, who is currently the oldest sitting U.S. president at 81, will return to the debate stage in September. This decision came to light when CNN’s senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche reported on Friday, quoting an adviser close to Biden, according to the New York Post.
Despite concerns from within his own party, Biden is also not considering dropping out of the race, according to The Guardian.
“I know I’m not a young man, to the state the obvious. Well, I know I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth,” Biden said in a rally in Raleigh, NC.
“I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, I know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.”
“Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job. Because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high,” he added.
And excellent news for people who love America. Let’s hope and pray he follows through.
there wont be a second debate
