US President Joe Biden said he was “not going anywhere” during a July 4 holiday speech. The speech came after supporters shouted “continue the fight”.
The speech takes place at a critical period for the Democrat’s re-election campaign, as he is questioned whether he is fit to serve another term due to his advanced age.
These doubts became even stronger after a poor performance in the CNN against former President Donald Trump.
Biden appeared to have difficulty speaking at times during the debate, with a weak and hesitant voice. According to sources heard by CNN, he was recovering from a cold. Furthermore, he suffers from a reflux problem.
Biden says he needs more sleep
In a meeting with Democratic governors, Joe Biden stated that part of his plan is to stop scheduling events after 8 pm so he can sleep more, according to three sources interviewed by CNN.
This came during a meeting with state leaders to address their ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 election.
The comment left several governors in the room frustrated, sources told CNN.
Before that, he gave an interview to presenter Earl Ingram, from Civic Media’s “The Earl Ingram Show”.
In a published excerpt of the conversation, the American president states: “I had a bad night. And the thing is, you know, it was – I screwed up. I made a mistake. It’s 90 minutes on stage. Look what I’ve done in 3.5 years.”
