DETTOIT: After pressure increased on President Joe Biden to step aside from the second presidential race following his poor show at the debate with Donald Trump, the president has refused to budge.
Addressing supporters at Detroit, Biden said he was not going anywhere, not leaving the field.
The elderly president told the cheering crowd he wasn’t going to leave the race and warning that Republican Donald Trump poses a serious threat.
Biden, 81, is trying to shift the conversation from his mental sharpness and a growing number of Democratic defections to the impact of another Trump presidency, as he tries to reboot his campaign after a shaky debate performance on June 27.
“Hopefully with age comes a little wisdom,” Biden said, in a defiant and sometimes gleeful performance. “Here’s what I know – I know how to tell the truth, I know right from wrong … and I know Americans want a president, not a dictator.”
