The debate between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump took place on the night of Friday last week. Biden is asking voters to look past the much talked about debate, which lasted 90 minutes, and rather evaluate him based on what he has achieved in recent years. – It was 90 minutes on stage. Rather, look at what I have achieved in the last 3.5 years, says Biden. The radio host, Ingram, who appeared in an interview with CNN, says that Biden showed no signs that he was ready to “throw in the towel”. The White House clarified on Wednesday that the president is absolutely not considering withdrawing as a presidential candidate.
