Tune in: Americast - I'm actually standing: Biden strikes back

All through the meeting, Mr Stephanopoulos squeezed the president on his ability to serve another term, inquiring as to whether he was trying to claim ignorance about his wellbeing and capacity to win.

"I don't believe anyone's more able to be president or come out on top in this race than me," Mr Biden said, accusing his lackluster showing keep going week on weariness and a "terrible virus". In the 22-minute meeting, he moreover:

Endeavored to ease Vote based fears he had lost ground to Donald Trump since the discussion, saying surveyors he had addressed said the race was a "shot in the dark"

Dismissed ideas partners might request that he stand to the side. "It won't work out," he said

Excused rehashed inquiries concerning what might force him to leave the race. "Assuming the Master All-powerful descended and said, 'Joe, escape the race,' I'd escape the race," he said. "The Master All-powerful's not descending"

The president responded to questions more plainly than he did on the discussion stage last week, yet his voice again sounded powerless and infrequently raspy.

It was a sharp difference to his exhibition at a meeting in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, where a stimulated Mr Biden recognized his lamentable execution in last week's CNN banter. "From that point forward, there's been a great deal of hypothesis. What's Joe going to do?" he told the group.

"Here is my response. I'm running and going to win once more," Mr Biden said, as allies in the pivotal milestone state cheered his name.

The meeting and the convention come at a crucial point in time for his mission, with benefactors and Majority rule partners thinking about whether to stay with him.

The mission knows that the following couple of days could represent the deciding moment his re-appointment bid, as per different reports in US media, as Mr Biden looks to recover ground that he lost to his conservative adversary Donald Trump following the discussion.

As he made that big appearance at the meeting, Mr Biden passed one citizen who was holding a sign perusing "Pass the light, Joe". One more elector who remained external the setting held a sign that read "Save your inheritance, nonconformist!".

"I see this multitude of stories that say I'm excessively old," Mr Biden said at the convention, prior to prevailing his record in the White House. "Was I excessively old to make 15 million positions?" he said. "Might it be said that i was excessively old to delete understudy obligation for 5,000,000 Americans?"

"Do you believe I'm excessively old to beat Donald Trump?" he asked, as the group answered "no".

Referring to Best's criminal conviction in New York, and different charges he is looking in discrete cases, he considered his opponent a "exclusive wrongdoing wave".

Tension on Mr Biden to move to one side has just developed following the discussion which was set apart by a few occurrences where he misplaced his thought process, raising worries about his age and mental wellness.

A few significant Vote based benefactors have started to push for Mr Biden to step down as the party's candidate, freely cautioning they will keep supports except if he is supplanted.

His mission is arranging a forceful return. His better half, Jill Biden, as well as VP Kamala Harris, are arranging a mission rush to head out to each landmark swing state this month.

Mr Biden, who is expected to talk at one more assembly in Pennsylvania on Sunday, said thanks to the VP for her help. She has arisen as the most probable possibility to supplant him on the Vote based ticket if he somehow managed to step down.

The Washington Post has detailed that Mr Biden's senior group knows about the strain coming from inside the Progressive faction to pursue a choice on the fate of his bid inside the following week.

"Anything President Biden chooses, I'm focused on making every effort to overcome Donald Trump," she said.

A few Majority rule citizens, as well, have lost confidence in Mr Biden's ability to run. In a Money Road Diary survey delivered on Friday, 86% of leftists said they would uphold Mr Biden, down from 93% in February.

At the assembly in Madison, numerous Biden allies let BBC News know that they upheld his bid for re-appointment and were not worried about the discussion calamity.
