During an interview with ABC News on Friday, Biden expressed his steadfast resolve to continue his campaign. “I mean if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get outta the race,’ I would get outta the race. The Lord Almighty’s not coming down. I mean, these hypotheticals,” Biden asserted. He continued, emphasizing his belief in his qualifications and vision for the country, stating, “I don’t think anybody is more qualified to be president or win this race than me.”
