US President Joe Biden says he is not considering quitting the presidential race.
There has been mounting pressure from within the Democratic Party on Biden to step aside, after a shaky debate performance with Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party.
Stakeholders have also expressed concerns over the president’s health and mental alertness after that June 27 night.
Speaking in an interview with ABC News, Biden said only the “Lord Almighty” would convince him to drop his re-election bid.
“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,” Biden said.
“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.”
