Joe Biden rejects polling numbers and says he'll only drop out if the Lord Almighty tells him to — where does his broadcast interview leave his campaign?

The future of a career in politics that has spanned more than 50 years came down, it seemed, to 22 minutes. As a growing number of Democrats now publicly mull whether and how they could replace the 81-year-old before November's election, Joe Biden really had to pull something out of the hat. The above quote is taken from ABC's America's official transcript of the interview and highlights the somewhat faltering way in which Joe Biden speaks, even on a good day. Joe Biden also appeared energised and feisty at a campaign event earlier in the battleground state of Wisconsin, telling the crowd he was "staying in the race", even though "they're trying to push me out". "I can't wait to help him continue to take the fight to Trump and win in November," key ally Senator Chris Coons enthused soon after the interview was broadcast.
