Supporters of Joe Biden at his rally in North Carolina have told NBC News they were disappointed with his performance in yesterday’s debate but are still standing behind him.
“I thought there was a debate between a good man and a bad man. So you know, the good man may have had an off night, but he’s still a better man, and I’m going to vote for him. Not a problem,” said one attendee, John Burns.
Another, David Tillem, said Mr Biden’s performance in the debate was “a disappointment,” but he thinks he’s still fit for the job.
Asked if he was the best person to lead the Democratic Party right now, Mr Tillem said, “Who else is there? That’s the question. He’s the one who’s been out front. Can he do it? Yeah.”
Biden campaign: No conversations about quitting
There are no conversations taking place about Joe Biden stepping aside from his re-election bid, his campaign spokesperson has said.
The spokesperson said Mr Biden still plans to take part in the next debate against Donald Trump, which is slated for 10 September.
They said last night’s debate has not changed the campaign strategy.
Earlier, the US president told supporters in North Carolina that he intended to win the election.
