The President of the United States, Joe Biden, he is not contemplating to quit the race to remain in White House in the next presidential election.
Biden, who is the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, said he is well positioned to defeat his rival and former President, Donald Trump.
There have been renewed calls for the US President to quit the race after his poor performance at the first presidential debate with his Republican rival, Trump, on June 27.
Many have demanded that Biden step aside over rising concerns about his health and mental health, but the US President had debunked such calls, noting that he will win the contest.
But speaking in an interview with ABC News on Friday, Biden said only the “Lord Almighty” would convince him to drop his re-election bid.
He said, “I mean if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get outta the race’, I would get outta the race. The Lord Almighty’s not coming down. I mean, these hypotheticals.
“I don’t think anybody is more qualified to be president or win this race than me.
“Look, I’m running again because I think I understand best what has to be done to take this nation to a completely new level. We are on our way. We are on our way.”
Biden also dismissed criticisms that he is too old and feeble to run for president for a second time, after the White House said he is not backing down from the race despite growing concerns.
“I see all these stories that say I am too old.. was I too old to create 15 million jobs? Was I too old to erase student debt for five million Americans? Do you think I’m too old to beat Donald Trump?” he asked.
