Biden said that he had a "bad" debate performance against former President Trump but argued that his accomplishments during his term were more important in a radio interview Thursday.
"I had a bad night," Biden said in an interview on July 4 with radio host Earl Ingram. "And the fact of the matter is that, you know, I screwed up."
Biden has faced calls to step down from media figures as speculation over whether he can remain at the top of the ticket continues to dog his campaign.
"I made a mistake," he told Ingram. "But I learned from my father, when you get knocked down, you just get back up."
"And, you know, we're going to win this election," Biden continued. "We're going to just beat Donald Trump. And like we did in 2020, we're going to beat him again. But we need all of you to get this done. All of you."
"I didn't have a good debate," Biden said. "That's 90 minutes on stage. Look at what I've done in 3.5 years. I've led the economy back from the brink of collapse. It's still improving. We have got more to do. I lowered prescription drug prices. I've worked with Republicans to expand veterans' health care."
Biden also responded to questions about "Black jobs," a reference to statements that Trump made during the debate, including that illegal immigrants were taking "Black jobs" and "Hispanic jobs" from American citizens.
"You asked me about ‘Black jobs,’" Biden said. "You know what [Trump's] doing, it's shameful. He's talking about ‘Black jobs’ meaning that all the things that Blacks can do are manual labor, meaning menial labor."
"Name me something he's done to help the Black community, give people a shot like I've done with college, education, and home buying," he said.

“I had a bad night.”
“I screwed up.”
“I made a mistake.”
“I didn’t have a good debate.”
What a lame pile of excuses.
No, you are a senile old commie, anti-American coot. You and your party have done your best to destroy the USA.
“All of this has been out there, for many years.”
Everybody on FR knew it for many years. But the “common man”? Not so much. Apparently they still tune out politics until Labor Day of an election year.
He said this right after asking “what debate?”
Yes, Biden did screw up very badly in the great debate debacle of 2024.
It was also obvious Trump felt sorry for Joe and “pulled his punches” & took it easy on him.
FJB is such a liar. He’s incompetent and he’s a liar about it.
you screwed up by running a 2nd term, and you REALLY screwed up by picking a VP based on DEI principles.
