Let’s keep going, says Biden as Democrats deal with debate shocker

Washington, June 28: US President Joe Biden said he did well at the Thursday debate with former President Donald Trump and dismissed the likelihood of him stepping aside, as being demanded by some Democrats disappointed by his performance, telling supporters: “Let’s keep going.”

“I think we did well,” Biden told a reporter when asked for his thoughts on his performance.

Asked about calls for him to quit and if he had any concerns, he said: “No. It’s hard to debate a liar. The New York Times pointed out he (Trump) lied 26 times.”

But Bident did acknowledge he was not well and had a sore throat.

“Tonight, President Biden presented a positive and winning vision for the future of America – one in which every American has a fair shot at the American dream, where every one of our rights are protected, and where our President fights to strengthen our democracy – not to tear it down,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, the Biden campaign chair, said in a statement defending the President.
