U.S. President, Joe Biden has addressed his age concerns after a disastrous performance at the CNN Presidential debate last night.
At a rally in North Carolina on Friday, a sharp and live Biden delivered a memorable speech, saying he knew he is old and could not debate as he used to, but said he knew how to tell the truth and knew what Americans wanted.
“I know I’m not a young man – to state the obvious,” he says, before being interrupted by enthusiastic chants of “Joe Joe Joe” from the crowd.
“I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as easy 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.
“I know right from wrong, I know how to do this job. I know what millions of Americans know: when you get knocked down, you get back up.
“I would not be running again if I did not believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job,” Biden stated in his speech captured by BBC.
Biden again repeats last night’s claim that Trump “thinks overturning Roe v Wade was a beautiful thing, I think it was a nightmare”.
He promised to make Roe v. Wade “the law of the land again” if he and Vice President Kamala Harris were elected with a Democratic Congress.
In his speech, the BBC reports that Biden acknowledged last night’s debate – without conceding any of the weak reviews his performance received.
“I don’t know what you did last night, but I spent 90 minutes on the stage debating a guy who has the morals of an alley cat.”
Biden claimed that “America itself is at stake,” warning that the US “bows to no one ever – unlike the other guy, we’ll stand up to dictators.”
“More than anything, we’re going to preserve, protect, defend our democracy. That’s what at stake in this election,” Biden added.
