Amid growing calls to step aside after a shaky debate performance, U.S. President Joe Biden has reasserted his commitment to the 2024 race. Speaking in an ABC News interview, Biden blamed his stumbling on a cold and exhaustion from European trips.

Biden made his case during a fiery speech in Madison, Wisconsin, against detractors from within his own party, many of whom are pushing for his exit. 'I was exhausted. It was a bad night,' he admitted, but pledged to 'fight on in the 2024 race.'
