US election campaign - Biden on TV disaster: "It's nobody's fault but my own"
US-President Joe Biden takes responsibility for his disastrous performance in the TV debate against his Republican challenger Donald Trump. "The whole way I prepared: Nobody is to blame but me," Biden said in a clip from an ABC TV interview that was released in advance. Biden repeated that he had a "bad night" but that he was not suffering from a serious illness.
The 81-year-old emphasized that he had a "really bad cold" before and during the debate. "I felt terrible." In preparation, he also did not listen to his instincts. In response to moderator George Stephanopoulos' question about whether he had watched the debate again, Biden gave a somewhat confusing answer: "I don't think I did that."
Biden had promised during the debate about a week ago to keep the thread and was unable to finish some of his sentences. After the performance, the debate about whether Biden is the right candidate for the Democrats in the November presidential election heated up again. The oldest president in US history insists on being fit enough for another term and remains unfazed.
