Biden confirms reelection bid despite debate

President Joe Biden maintains his plan to run for the Democrats and defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. Following criticism for his performance in a recent debate against Trump where he appeared incoherent and old, Biden, with a wry smile, admitted it wasn’t his best showing. He assured his supporters in Wisconsin that a poor debate will not deter him, stating, ‘I’m running, and I’m going to win again.’ Despite facing challenges, Biden receives continued support due to his backing as the Democratic nominee. Some Democratic members of Congress and Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy have suggested he reconsider his candidacy, but Biden remains steadfast, supported by Democratic governors earlier in the week. The White House attributed his debate performance to a cold, while Biden cited jetlag from recent European travel.
