A fired-up Biden made it clear he would not back down, telling supporters: “I’m not going to let a 90-minute debate wipeout three-and-a-half years of work”.
: US President Joe Biden has defiantly hit back at people he says are trying to “push” him out of the 2024 election, insisting that last week’s disastrous debate was just a “bad episode” and not emblematic of a more serious cognitive condition.
The comments came during a make-or-break period for America’s oldest president, who has privately acknowledged that he only has days to salvage his candidacy amidIn a bit to recalibrate, the Biden campaign has launched a $US50 million media blitz, as well as a month of swing state visits from the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, first lady Jill Biden, and other campaign surrogates.
This effectively means that to have a new candidate Biden would need to voluntarily stand down so the party can either rally around a replacement or have an open convention to choose one. In a post on social media, the 78-year-old Republican challenged Biden to a second presidential debate, but suggested it should be a “no holds barred” contest with no moderators.
Despite only being three years older than Trump - and despite Trump also having his fair share of public gaffs – Biden’s age has been a major worry for the vast majority of Americans, including many Democrats.
