President Joe Biden on Friday gave more details about his medical care while suffering from a cold that he and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have blamed for a disastrous debate performance that has prompted calls for him to abandon his reelection bid.
“Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible,” Biden said when asked by ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos about what happened during his dismal June 27 debate with Donald Trump, the expected Republican presidential nominee.
Biden said he went into the debate exhausted, despite having spent several days out of the public eye preparing at Camp David.
