Biden Forcefully Rejects Efforts to Push Him Out of Race – WSJ

President Biden defiantly and repeatedly rejected calls for him to withdraw from the presidential race following last week s disastrous debate performance, insisting to supporters and prime-time television viewers that he was Democrats best shot to defeat Republican Donald Trump.

Biden acknowledged at a rally in Madison that there was speculation about whether he might pull out of the contest in favor of another Democratic candidate, ahead of the party s August convention in Chicago. Biden declared: I am running and going to win again, prompting cheers from the audience in the liberal enclave.

Guess what, they re trying to push me out of the race. Well let me say this as clearly as I can: I m staying in the race, Biden said, reading from a teleprompter.
