President Biden Fights Doubts About His Fitness in Energetic Speech

President Biden delivered an energetic speech on Friday in response to concerns about his performance at a recent debate. Speaking to a lively crowd of 2,000 supporters, the 81-year-old president directly addressed questions about his age and fitness for the role.

Amid cheers and chants of "Joe! Joe!" from the crowd, President Biden acknowledged his age and debating capabilities, stating, "I know I'm not a young man... I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong."

Defending Against Criticism

The president emphasized that he would not have pursued re-election if he didn't believe he was capable of fulfilling the role of president, pushing back against doubts raised following a recent debate performance.

Delivering his speech with the assistance of a Teleprompter, President Biden appeared to regain the energy and clarity that appeared to elude him during the previous debate in Atlanta.
