MADISON, July 5 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden again called his debate against Republican opponent Donald Trump "a bad episode," but remained resolute in an interview with ABC News on Friday that he was the candidate to beat Trump in November's election.

"No indication of any serious condition. I was exhausted. I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and -- and a bad night," Biden, 81, told ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos in a taped interview in Madison, Wisconsin.

"I just had a bad night. I don't know why," Biden added in a hoarse voice, stumbling occasionally over his words.

Biden was gently but repeatedly probed by Stephanopoulos about whether he was being realistic in his belief that he could beat Trump, giving widening polls between the two and growing concern from elected Democrats.

"I don't think anyone is more qualified," Biden told Stephanopoulos in the interview. The polls, he said, were inaccurate.

Asked whether he would drop out if fellow Democrats in Congress said he was hurting their re-election chances in November, Biden said: "If the Lord Almighty comes out and tells me that I might do that."

The 22-minute interview, which Stephanopoulos said was not cut or edited, was being closely watched by Democrats concerned about the president's ability to serve another four years, or beat Trump, 78, in the election, after his faltering debate performance on June 27.

A senior House of Representatives Democratic aide, who declined to be named, told Reuters after watching a short clip aired before the interview: "I don't see how he (Biden) lasts the week as the nominee."

He already admitted he has the most sophisticated vote fraud organization in history.

(P)resident Potato Head Biden, God does indeed have plans for you; you’d better confess and repent while you still draw breath, because Death and Sheol are waiting for you.

So now it’s up to Satan? I suppose he could delegate the decision to his number one follower.

How could he be tired? He had a week off resting at camp David with 16 advisers and Dr. Jill?

And the “Lord Almighty” told him, “Joe! What a good boy! You can do it!” But he sounded just like Jill....

All He has to do is smite FJB a good one and He doesn’t have to have anything to do with him after that.
