Biden on Debate: “When you get knocked down you get back up” | BBC News
President Biden has directly addressed the storm of criticism he’s faced of his stumbling performance in a TV debate with rival presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Mr Biden told supporters “When you get knocked down you get back up”. Mr Biden acknowledged that he is indeed old, but said he can still beat the former president in the November US election.
He said: “I know I’m not a young man, to the state the obvious. Well, I know 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.”
Democrats have expressed great unease at the president’s shaky debate performance, with party insiders admitting that some of his answers triggered panic in their campaign.
Mr Biden’s team insists the president will not step down as the Democratic candidate and that he will debate Donald Trump again in September.

America’s national debt recently hit a new milestone of $40 trillion. It is estimated that interest payments on the national debt are now the second largest expense in the US government budget, trailing only Social Security. How was the US able to borrow so much and for so long? One answer, according Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, is the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.
In this episode, Rogoff – former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund – explains how the US dollar came to enjoy this hegemonic status, what being the world’s reserve currency actually means in practice, and why he believes the dollar is now in decline.

President Volodymr Zelensky has appealed to Germany to supply Ukraine with tanks, as leaders meet to discuss further aid.
Defence leaders from a number of Nato members are meeting at the US air base in Ramstein, Germany to discuss sending further aid ahead of an anticipated Spring offensive by Russia.
Germany is under increasing pressure from other countries to supply its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, as the UK prepares to send a dozen Challenger 2 tanks.
“If you have Leopard [tanks], then give them to us, these leopards won’t go through Russia. We’re defending ourselves.”, he told public TV in Germany.
