SUMMARY: President Biden addressed concerns about his following a poor debate performance, attributing it to exhaustion and a severe cold. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden denied any serious medical conditions and explained that he mistakenly thought he might have COVID-19. Despite criticism from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and political figures like Karl Rove, Biden asserted his commitment to the 2024 race during a subsequent rally in Wisconsin. He also criticized former President Trump for lying during the debate. Biden acknowledged his performance issues but considered them an isolated incident rather than indicative of broader health problems.
