President Biden spoke with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Friday in a much anticipated primetime interview amid turmoil in his campaign after last week's debate, in which Biden spoke haltingly and seemed to lose his train of thought at times.
Stephanopoulos interviewed Biden for 22 minutes, mostly asking about Biden's mental fitness and whether he was capable of being president of the United States.
The interview occurred in Wisconsin, where Biden, 81, had held a campaign rally earlier in the day insisting he would not bow down to public pressure from fellow Democrats who are demanding he exit the race so a younger nominee can take on Trump.
"Let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m the sitting president of the United States," Biden said at the rally, reading off a teleprompter. "I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party. I’m staying in the race."
During the ABC interview, Biden admitted he had a "bad night" in the debate against Trump, but insisted that he could serve as president for another four years. He touted his record on foreign and economic policy while blasting Trump for being a "pathological liar."
“I don’t think anybody’s more qualified to be president or win this race than me,” Biden said.
The president also said he was suffering from a cold, tired from travel and didn't prepare well for the showdown with Trump.
The Biden campaign also recently unveiled a campaign travel schedule for the upcoming month and a $50 million ad buy, hoping to signal to its skeptics that it is fully committed the race.

The populist threat has been crushed. The “far-Right” has been blocked from forming a government, and a financial crisis has been averted. With the surprising results from the French elections last night showing Marine Le Pen’s National Rally dropping to third place in the new Parliament, it would be easy to assume that the country was getting back to normal. But hold on. The election massively strengthened the far-Left – and it is the Marxist extremists that pose the real threat to the survival
The move to Downing Street is a symbolic moment for any incoming prime minister, the most obvious proof of your drastically changed situation. You do not merely run the shop, as Mrs Thatcher said, you live above it. Downing Street is one of the most prestigious political residences on Earth, perhaps second only to the White House. For five years, barring calamity, it is yours, for you to decorate with all the golden Lulu Lytle wallpaper you like.
