President Joe Biden Says He’s Here To Stay
On Friday (July 5), President Joe Biden came through with a firm message for those who think he might be considering dropping out of the race for president. The politician hopped on X, formerly known as Twitter, to set the record straight about his current position in the 2024 presidential election.
Let me say this as clearly as I can:
I’m the sitting President of the United States.
I’m the nominee of the Democratic party.
I’m staying in the race.

Shortly after his statement, President Joe Biden also took some time to throw shade at his opposing candidate, Donald Trump. Biden mentioned Trump’s recent conviction and asserted that he is merely a “one-man crime wave.”
Trump isn’t just a convicted criminal.
He’s a one-man crime wave.

President Biden Previously Reflected On Debate With Donald Trump
President Biden’s latest statements come a week after his viral debate with Donald Trump. As The Shade Room previously reported, the politicians went head-to-head for their first presidential debate at a studio in Atlanta on June 27.
CNN aired the 90-minute debate where President Biden and Donald Trump faced off on various topics. While the spectacle sparked mixed reactions on social media, Biden seemed to believe he performed well.
Hours after his fiery exchange with Trump, President Biden stopped at a Waffle House in Atlanta with his wife, First Lady Jill Biden. The pair seemed to be grabbing a bite to eat at the popular fast-food restaurant chain.
When one reporter asked how he thought he performed, Biden simply replied, “I did well.”
