President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that he will not drop out of the 2024 presidential race as many had speculated following his poor performance during the first election debate.
“Folks, I know the past few days have been tough. I’m sure you’re getting a lot of questions,” Biden’s campaign said in an email.
“I’m sure many of you have questions as well. So, let me say this as clearly and simply as I can: I’m running.”
The President’s message came after a Zoom meeting with Democratic National Committee staff members earlier Wednesday.
“Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can – as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running, no one’s pushing me out,” the commander-in-chief reportedly said.
“I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”
