President Joe Biden has been defiant in the face of calls for him to withdraw from the presidential race. Despite a debate performance that fueled party anxiety about whether he should stay on the ticket, Biden has insisted that he will not drop out of the race.
He has pointed to his record and the support he has received from Democratic leaders and governors as reasons for his decision to stay in the race.
“I know the American story.
Again and again, I’ve seen the contest between those who want to take us back and those who want to move us forward.
My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy, respect everyone, give everyone a shot, and give hate no safe harbor.”
