President Joe Biden addressed concerns about his cognitive abilities during a television interview with ABC News, asserting that he will not drop out of the election following his poor debate performance. Despite being pressed by anchor George Stephanopoulos about withdrawing from the race, Biden remained firm in his stance that he will not entertain the idea. He also stated that he has not taken a cognitive test and refused to commit to one, emphasizing that he undergoes cognitive testing every day due to the demands of being president. Biden also expressed disbelief in polls showing him losing to Donald Trump, pointing out discrepancies in approval ratings. He insisted that he is physically and mentally fit to serve another four years as president, despite criticism of his debate performance. Biden attributed his poor showing in the debate to fatigue and a “bad cold,” which he said affected his performance. He maintained that his health is good and denied having any serious conditions that would impede his ability to serve as president. Biden also stated that he had not watched the debate and admitted to having a “bad night.” Despite facing pressure from some Democrats to drop out of the race, Biden remained resolute in his decision to continue campaigning.
