US president sought to reassure voters in the key battleground state that he is a better option than Donald Trump.
United States President Joe Biden has renewed his commitment to see his struggling re-election campaign through, telling voters in the key battleground state of Michigan that he is the better choice, despite growing calls for him to quit the race.
“I am running and we’re going to win,” he told a crowd holding placards in his support during a rally in Detroit.
“I’m the nominee,” he said on Friday. “I’m not going anywhere.”
The 81-year-old Biden continues to face challenges over his mental sharpness and calls to step down after a disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump on June 27.
Reporting from Detroit, Al Jazeera’s John Hendren pointed out that there is a large Arab and Muslim American population in Michigan, who are centred in Dearborn, just south of Detroit.
