To the song “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty, President Joe Biden took the stage during a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday. Here he is clear from the pulpit that he will still run as a presidential candidate for the Democrats. – I will stay in the race. And I will win again. The president addressed the much talked about presidential debate on CNN a week earlier. – I will not let one 90-minute debate destroy 3.5 years of work, said Biden. In recent days, the president has been hard pressed by party colleagues in the Democratic Party. While several politicians have advocated that he should withdraw from the election, others have said that he should go out and do more interviews and public appearances to remove doubts about whether he is able to cope with the tough election campaign against Trump.

He messed up a couple of times, including when he said he would beat Trump in 2020 – before correcting himself and saying 2024. In addition, he strongly warned about what could happen if the opponent wins the upcoming election. – Trump can become a dictator, said Biden. Biden meets voters in Wisconsin.

He finished by talking about how the job of American president is about strength of character and morality. – It’s about honesty. It is about the president’s decency, integrity. Does he respect people, or does he incite violence and hatred? Can he live up to the oath he has taken to respect the Constitution and the office of the President? Furthermore, he added that Trump has “the morals of a street cat”. At the same time that Biden was on stage in Wisconsin, the Washington Post published an article saying that veteran Democratic senator Mark Warner is trying to form a group of senators to ask Biden to resign. Several have advocated that Biden must withdraw as a presidential candidate after his appearance at the debate. On Friday, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy came out and said the same thing. She is the first of the governors to call on Biden to resign. On the night of Saturday, Biden will also appear for an interview with ABC News. The interview is broadcast at 02 Norwegian time.
