Biden defiantly redoubles efforts to stay in race

At a pair of events Friday — a campaign rally in the key swing state of Wisconsin and a prime-time interview on ABC — President Biden dismissed concerns about his fitness to continue his campaign and affirmed that he intends to remain on the ballot in November. When faced with calls from Democratic lawmakers, donors and voters to drop out of the race, the president said only “the Lord Almighty” could change his mind. It’s unclear whether his full-throated insistence on continuing his campaign will be enough to allay the party’s concerns.
