Biden rallies in North Carolina with feisty comeback speech
If President Joe Biden is on his last leg as a candidate, you'd never know it by his effort to energize Democratic troops Friday at a campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
"I know I'm not a young man. Let’s state the obvious" Biden said, in a nod to the halting performance he delivered at Thursday night's debate in Atlanta.
He paused, and chants of "Joe!" began to sweep the crowd.
"Folks, I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to," Biden admitted. "But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth, I know right from wrong, and I know how to do this job, I know how to get things done."
"And I know, like millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up!," he concluded, with an upward thrust of his fist.
