Joe Biden, fired up and determined, once again dismissed rumors of him dropping out of the presidential race and shifted the attention to his opponent, Donald Trump, as he resumed his campaign trail in the midst of a challenging reelection bid. 

Despite growing calls for him to step aside following a disappointing debate performance, Biden reaffirmed his commitment to running for president during a rally in Michigan.

However, opposition to his candidacy continued to mount, with concerns over his health and mental acuity prompting nineteen Democratic lawmakers to urge him to withdraw from the race.

Despite facing criticism for a series of gaffes, Biden remained defiant and emphasized his qualifications to run for president.

At a rally in Detroit, he attempted to downplay his mistakes and redirected focus to Trump's falsehoods.

The event also saw reporters being jeered, reflecting a more hostile atmosphere reminiscent of his rival's rallies.
