“But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” Obama mentioned.
“Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”
Biden has acknowledged age and dangerous debate efficiency, however vowed to defeat Trump through the elections on Nov. 5.
“I know I’m not a young man. 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,” he instructed a rally in North Carolina on Friday.
