President Biden sought to stabilize his campaign on Friday following a disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump. The debate’s aftermath caused significant concern within the Democratic Party, prompting some supporters and even the liberal New York Times to suggest Biden consider stepping down as the presumptive nominee, despite his firm stance against it.
“Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to,” the 81-year-old Biden remarked during a midday rally in North Carolina. Later that afternoon, he appeared at Manhattan’s Stonewall Inn alongside pop star Elton John.
“But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong,” Biden stated earlier in Raleigh.

In Thursday night’s debate, former President Donald Trump accused President Biden of adopting a stance similar to that of the Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Trump claimed that Biden is hindering Israel from fully engaging in its war against the Islamist militant group. “You should let them go and let them go finish the job. He doesn’t want to do it,” Trump argued.
Trump went on to say, “He’s become like a Palestinian,” adding more pointed criticism. “But they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian. He’s a weak one,” he stated.
When asked about his position on an independent Palestinian state, Trump responded that he would need to evaluate the situation further, saying he’d “have to see.”
