Washington: US President Joe Biden is facing constant criticism and demands to quit the presidential election race after falling behind Trump in the first presidential debate. Despite this, he is adamant on contesting again. He said on Thursday that he is “healthy” and “committed” to contest again against his Republican rival Donald Trump. Biden also said that a “stupid mistake” will not change his intention, as he has many tasks to complete.
Addressing reporters at the conclusion of the NATO summit in Washington, Biden claimed that at the moment no survey or person is indicating to him that he cannot win re-election. He said that this would be the only reason why he would consider giving up the presidential candidature. The US President said, “I am committed to contesting the election. I think I am the most qualified person for the presidential candidacy. I defeated him (Trump) once and I will defeat him again now.” Biden said that 5 presidents had less popularity than me Joe Biden said, “Also, the idea that senators and congressmen in the presidential race are worried about the ticket is not unusual and I would like to say that there were at least five presidents in the presidential race whose popularity level was lower than mine.” Biden said, “So there is still a long way to go in this campaign and so I will just keep going, keep going.” He said, “And look, since I have a lot of work to complete. We have made a lot of progress. Think about where we are economically compared to the rest of the world. Name me a world leader who wouldn’t want to do business with our economy. We have created over 800,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector. So things are moving forward. We have a lot more to do.
