Biden admits he didn't give his best debate performance, but says he knows how to do the job right | US Election 2024

President of the United States of America, Joe Bidenadmitted on Saturday (29) that he “did not have a great night” in Last week's presidential debate In front of Donald Trump, But he stressed that he “knows how to do this job.”The White House published the full speech, which was delivered at an event closed to the press, on Sunday (30).

Biden (81 years old) performed poorly in the first electoral debate for the 2024 elections with Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump, on Thursday evening (27), which angered members of his party and the North American press. Which raises the possibility of his exit from the race for the White House. If elected, he will leave power at the end of his second term at the age of 86.

“I know I don’t walk as fast as I used to, even though I’m only 40 (laughs). I don’t talk as well as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I did in school. But this is what I do know: I know how to tell the truth, I know how to do this job,” Biden said. “If you fall down, you can get back up.”

He also took the opportunity to state that Trump's performance in the debate was not positive and that the former president's lies were working against him.

“I know what”[The New York] The Times did today (referring to the editorial calling on Biden to leave the race), but it also noted that he (Trump) lied 28 times in 90 minutes. That's very good (laughs). But people remember the bad things that happened during his presidency, and I think it reminded them of the past and why they didn't like him so much. They don't like chaos. They don't like extremes. The president said his responses on abortion and on January 6 did him great harm and pointed to what we are trying to do.
