President Biden on Friday tried to reassure voters in the battleground state of Michigan that he’s up for another four years in office amid questions over his age and stamina.
“We gotta finish the job. I promise you I am OK,” Biden told supporters.
He and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) spoke to a crowd at a restaurant in Northville, Mich., ahead of a campaign rally in the area.
He echoed remarks from his high-stakes press conference the night before, during which he said he’s not running again for his legacy but instead to finish the job he started four years ago.
“That’s why I’m running to finish this job. There’s more to do. I know I’m only 41. … I promise you I’m OK,” he said, cracking a joke about his age.
The president, 81, added, “With age comes a little wisdom … the alternative is not much of an alternative.”
Biden is expected to bash former President Trump later Friday over the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, calling it the “biggest attack” on the U.S. system of government.
Trump has sough to distance himself from the conservative vision for his next administration, though many of his former staff and advisers are involved in the effort.
Biden's visit to the pivotal swing state of Michigan, which he won in 2020, comes as he is defending his decision stay in the 2024 race amid growing calls from Democratic lawmakers to drop out.
