Joe Biden told supporters Friday he was staying in the White House race.
A defiant President Joe Biden told supporters Friday he was staying in the White House race and would defeat Donald Trump again, despite fellow Democrats' concerns he lacks the capacity to go head to head against his rival.
"Let me say this as clearly as I can: I'm staying in the race. I'll beat Donald Trump," the president told a rally in Madison, Wisconsin, more than a week after his faltering debate performance raised doubts about his physical and mental fitness.
The US President insisted Friday that no one is more qualified to lead the nation or defeat Trump than he is, swatting away concerns over whether he can beat his Republican challenger in November.
Asked if staying in the race against Trump might jeopardize Democrats holding on to the White House, Biden said: "I don't think anybody's more qualified to be president or win this race than me."
