::All Democrat governors want me to 'stay in the race', says Biden
::Madison, Wisconsin
JOURNALIST: "Have you spoken to members of Congress?"
BIDEN: "I have."
JOURNALIST: "Who have you spoken to?"
BIDEN: "At least 20, and all the governors."
JOURNALIST: "And what are they telling you?"
BIDEN: "They're telling me to stay in the race."
JOURNALIST: "Do you value the thoughts of members of your own party when it comes to your decision to stay in the race?"
BIDEN: "Sure I do. That's why they've said, you guys saw the governors. Every one of them in that room. All those governors said 'stay in the race'."
JOURNALIST: "Are you confident you can serve another four years?"
BIDEN: "I'm positive."
Amidst efforts to quell concerns over his recent debate performance, Biden accused some Democrats of attempting to push him out of the presidential race. In a spirited speech, he defied his critics and mocked Donald Trump.
Biden's visit to Wisconsin, a key battleground state, aimed to rally voters and included a television interview. This interview will be closely watched, as his debate with Trump has led some within his party, including major donors, to question his ability to secure a second term.
