Biden Invigorated at Raleigh Rally on the Day after the Debate

Transcript:

THE PRESIDENT: Folks, let me close with this. I know I’m not a young man — (laughter) — to state the obvious.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I know. (Applause.)

AUDIENCE: Joe! Joe! Joe!

THE PRESIDENT: Well — I don’t —

AUDIENCE: Joe! Joe! Joe!

THE PRESIDENT: Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t deba- — debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth. (Applause.)

I know — I know — I know right from wrong. (Applause.) And I know how to do this job. (Applause.) I know how to get things done. (Applause.) And I know like millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up. (Applause.)

I know what it took to take our economy from the depths of pandemic to where it is today: the strongest economy in the world. I know what it’ll take to bring this economy to everybody. I know what it’ll take to rally the world to stand up against Putin and defend freedom, not yield to him. (Applause.) And I know what it’ll take to keep the world safe and free for the years ahead.

Folks, I give you my word as a Biden. I would not be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job. (Applause.) Because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.

AUDIENCE: Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can!

THE PRESIDENT: The stakes are too high.

AUDIENCE: Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can!
