President Joe Biden reassured voters that he is still “running” in the 2024 presidential election after his performance at the presidential debate last Thursday against former President Donald Trump.
In an e-mail from the Biden-Harris campaign, Biden admitted that the “past few days have been tough,” and added that he is the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.
“Folks, I know the past few days have been tough,” the fundraising e-mail said. “I’m sure you’re getting a lot of questions. I’m sure many of you have questions as well. So, let me say this as clearly and simply as I can: I’m running.”

The fundraising e-mail continued to state that Biden was the “Democratic Party’s nominee” and that nobody was “pushing” him out.
“I’m not leaving, I’m in this race to the end, and WE are going to win this election. If that’s all you need to hear, pitch in a few bucks to help Kamala and me defeat Donald Trump in November,” the fundraising e-mail continued.
