Biden Vows to Stay in Race in Madison, Mistakenly Claims He'll Beat Trump 'Again in 2020'

Jul 5, 2024, 08:28 PM

During a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin, President Joe Biden declared his intention to remain in the presidential race and expressed confidence in defeating former President Donald Trump. Biden, however, mistakenly stated that he would beat Trump 'again in 2020,' despite it being 2024. This statement has drawn significant attention and criticism, with many questioning Biden's awareness of the current year. Biden's declaration comes amid calls from key Democratic donors for him to step down as the party's presidential nominee. The rally featured a teleprompter speech where Biden emphasized his commitment to the race.
