President Biden took a Sunday morning bike ride in Rehoboth Beach, #Delaware.
In a short #TV interview, recorded at the #WhiteHouse last week and broadcast on #Sunday, the president appeared frail, but cogent, again admitting he failed in the debate, but stressing that health-wise he has “no serious problem.”
“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House [of Representatives] and #Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races,” Biden said. “I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic you’d be interviewing me about.”
He singled out former House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi, a party heavyweight whose refusal to explicitly back his campaign was seen by many as pivotal.
“You’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say [something] ... I thought it’d be a real distraction,” Biden said. “A critical issue for me still is — not a joke — maintaining this democracy. I have an obligation to the country to do what is the most important thing we can do, and that is we must, we must, we must defeat Trump.”
Biden said he was proud of his record on jobs, investment and the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic — and vowed to campaign hard for US Vice President Kamala Harris, who has replaced him on the ballot.
“I’m going to do whatever Kamala thinks I can do to help most,” he said.
