President Joe Biden responded to comments about his presidential campaign following his debate performance on June 27, telling supporters at a rally a day later that he doesn’t debate as well these days.

“I know I’m not a young man, to state the obvious,” he said at a rally in North Carolina on Friday. “I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job.”
