It sounds like Plan B is even less palatable to the Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The morning after President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous debate against Donald Trump saw a wave of calls for him to step down, but the octogenerian had a surprise in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only is he planning to see his campaign through to November\u2019s election; he also plans to front up for a second debate against Mr Trump in September, according to CNN senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Biden repeatedly froze and misspoke during the debate on Thursday, which left doubts in the minds of even the most hopeful viewers about his mental and physical fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also spoke in a soft, scratchy voice, which anonymous aides claimed was the result of a cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he came roaring back on Friday (local time), delivering a rousing speech at a North Carolina rally that included admissions about his performance the night before but no doubt about his intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know I\u2019m not a young man. I don\u2019t walk as easily as I used to. I don\u2019t talk as smoothly as I used to. I don\u2019t debate as well as I used to,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, when you get knocked down, you get back up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know what it will take to bring this economy to everybody. I know what it\u2019ll take to rally the world to stand up against Putin and defend freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
