Biden concedes debate fumbles but declares he will defend democracy

US President Joe Biden forcefully tried on Friday to quell Democratic anxieties over his unsteady showing in his debate with former president Donald Trump, as elected members of his party closed ranks around him in an effort to shut down talk of replacing him.

“The choice in this election is simple,” Mr Biden said. “Donald Trump will destroy our democracy. I will defend it.”President Joe Biden, right, and Republican presidential candidate former president Donald Trump, left, stand during a break in the presidential debate hosted by CNN Privately, his campaign worked to reduce concerns and keep donors on board. Democratic politicians on Friday acknowledged Mr Biden’s poor showing, but tried to stop talk of replacing him as their standard-bearer, and instead shift the focus to Mr Trump’s attacks and falsehoods.

Mr Biden’s campaign announced that it raised 14 million dollars on debate day and the morning after, while Mr Trump’s campaign said it raised more than eight million dollars from the start of the debate through to the end of the night. Mr Biden and his team have long wagered that voters would look past their concerns about his age and unpopularity when confronted at the ballot box with a choice between the president and Mr Trump. Despite their concerns about Mr Biden’s performance, they took solace in Mr Trump doing little to expand his own appeal to voters on Thursday.
