00:00
After a mixed performance at the NATO summit, as concerns soar about his age and acuity,
00:07
Joe Biden steamed ahead with his re-election bid, hitting the campaign trail in Michigan.
00:12
A crucial swing state for the Democrats, the 81-year-old reassured voters he was still
00:17
in good shape for the top job.
00:19
Folks, you've probably noticed there's been a lot of speculation lately. What's Joe Biden
00:26
going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? Here's my answer.
00:31
I am running and we're going to win. I'm not going to change that.
00:37
Though the president is seeking to steady his campaign, American voters across the country
00:42
have expressed varying emotions about his health. Here in New York, it's a mixed bag.
00:48
I think it's time for him to step down. We need someone younger and more youthful. He's
00:53
done a great job as a president, but it's time to say goodbye.
00:57
He needs to either bomb or really shine, and right now he's kind of in the middle.
01:04
We know he's old, but I still think he is far and away the best choice, and it seems
01:10
something's off to me that this is all anybody's talking about.
01:14
With 19 Democrats publicly voicing for Biden to step down from the race, and donors threatening
01:20
to withhold a reported $90 million in campaign funds, the divide within the Democratic Party
01:26
has deepened. Though at least 80 Democratic politicians continue to stick by the president's
01:31
candidacy.
