President Biden spoke with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Friday in a much anticipated primetime interview amid turmoil in his campaign after last week's debate, in which Biden spoke haltingly and seemed to lose his train of thought at times.
Stephanopoulos interviewed Biden for 22 minutes, mostly asking about Biden's mental fitness and whether he was capable of being president of the United States.
The interview occurred in Wisconsin, where Biden, 81, had held a campaign rally earlier in the day insisting he would not bow down to public pressure from fellow Democrats who are demanding he exit the race so a younger nominee can take on Trump.
"Let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m the sitting president of the United States," Biden said at the rally, reading off a teleprompter. "I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party. I’m staying in the race."
During the ABC interview, Biden admitted he had a "bad night" in the debate against Trump, but insisted that he could serve as president for another four years. He touted his record on foreign and economic policy while blasting Trump for being a "pathological liar."
“I don’t think anybody’s more qualified to be president or win this race than me,” Biden said.
The president also said he was suffering from a cold, tired from travel and didn't prepare well for the showdown with Trump.
The Biden campaign also recently unveiled a campaign travel schedule for the upcoming month and a $50 million ad buy, hoping to signal to its skeptics that it is fully committed the race.

When Donald Trump squared off in a high-stakes debate in Atlanta last week, his wife Melania wasn’t there to offer the traditional post-debate smooch. When Trump received a guilty verdict in a Manhattan fraud trial, Melania wasn’t there for the traditional hand-holding walk out of the courthouse. While Trump crisscrosses the country holding rallies, Melania has confined her campaigning to venues just down the hall. In April, she joined Caitlyn Jenner and Mehmet Oz in addressing Log Cabin republi
While appearing on "Meet the Press," the possible Trump VP pick had to contend with the fact that he once wrote that Obama was an "admirable man."
Former President Trump has argued prosecutors at his recent hush money trial introduced evidence that is protected under the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, an assertion that could upend his conviction.
