Biden responds to criticism over his debate performance: 'I screwed up'

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.

“Like I’ve done with home buying...”

Biden screwed blacks and everybody else.

“”I made a mistake,” he told Ingram. “But I learned from my father, when you get knocked down, you just get back up.”

This was a radio interview. Which means Biden didn’t speak those words. They used AI or someone else impersonating him to give this interview.

I will confess that it is amazing a 1.5 - 2 hour not live debate (two minute delay) can affect anyone as this has done.

There was nothing new learned. All of this has been out there, for many years.

I’m not understanding the decision to debate. We knew he couldn’t do it even with the event set up in his favor. Jill, what were you thinking?

I like the rematch idea. An immediate rematch.

Don't wait until September. Now.

They could even play golf while they do it. Just two old friends having a casual conversation. No moderators. No scripts.

And Joe can show us his 6...no 8, yeah, 8, that's the ticket!...golf handicap in action.

I triple dog dare ya'.

Biden forgot to finish the sentence...

He meant to say, “I screwed up the debate, I screwed up the country, I screwed up everything”

What was the “mistake?” That doesn’t make any sense.

“This was a radio interview. Which means Biden didn’t speak those words. They used AI or someone else impersonating him to give this interview.”

At this point, anyone who would believe the validity of anything but a live interview with impartial witnesses is a complete fool. This, of course, includes the upcoming ABC “infomercial”.

"We're going to just beat Donald Trump. And like we did in 2020, we're going to beat him again.

The steal is in.
