Speaking at a rally in the state of North Carolina, US president Joe Biden tells the audience: “I’m not a young man… I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know, I know how to tell the truth”. Mr Biden’s comments come after his stumbling performance at 2024’s first presidential TV debate against Donald Trump. The BBC’s Nomia Iqbal discusses his most recent speech.
