US President Joe Biden has dismissed concerns about his health and doubts about his re-election bid in November. He brushed off his poor performance in the presidential debate as a “bad episode” and asserted that only “the Lord almighty” could persuade him to exit the race.

In a TV interview held a week after the debate in Atlanta, Biden (81) said he had “a bad night” and he was “exhausted” and “sick” during his first presidential debate with Trump. He claimed that he was “running the world” and noone was “more qualified” to be the president. Biden said: “I have a cognitive test every single day. You know, not only am I campaigning, I’m running the world.”
