Atlanta (USA), June 28 (EFE).- The president of the United States, Democrat Joe Biden, defended his performance this Thursday in the debate against his rival for the November elections, former Republican president Donald Trump, and When asked by the press, he stated: “I think we did well.”
Biden, who at 81 is the oldest president in US history, had a weak performance in the debate against Trump. On several occasions, he cleared his throat and his voice sounded hoarse and harsher than usual because he has been fighting the flu in recent days, a source familiar with the campaign told EFE.
This action has caused concern within the Democratic Party, with several Democratic sources quoted by American media already speaking of “panic” over the president’s actions and even, in some cases, mentioning the need for him to step down.
Asked if he plans to withdraw or if he has any concerns about his performance, Biden responded by attacking Trump. “No. It’s hard to debate a liar. The New York Times said he lied 26 times,” he said.
Asked if he was sick, Biden admitted he had a “sore throat.”
Biden made these remarks after the debate while he went to Waffle House with the first lady, Jill Biden, to buy food for his campaign staff, before heading to North Carolina, where they will have an election rally tomorrow. EFE
