The president, 81, attended a series of fundraising events in New York and New Jersey on Saturday, and defended his performance in CNN's Presidential Debate.

Speaking at one event, Mr Biden admitted, "I didn’t have a great night, but neither did Trump” on Thursday.

"I promise you we're going to win this election," he said.

Mr Biden's debate performance was marked by hard-to-follow and shaky answers - raising fresh fears among some Democrats over whether he is the right candidate to contest this high-stakes election.
