Here's why2 days agoBy Madeline Halpert & Brajesh Upadhyay, BBC News, New York & WashingtonShareA gaffe-free night for Biden, says BBC reporter in DetroitAs Joe Biden took to the stage for a rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday evening, one of the most raucous crowds seen in recent years at any event for the US president chanted: "Don't you quit!"

The presumptive Democratic nominee was greeted by deafening cheers from hundreds of supporters as he vowed: "I am running! And I'm gonna win!"

As he left the stage, the strains of Tom Petty's hit I Won't Back Down washed over the high school gymnasium, an implicit rebuff to the growing list of elected members of his party exhorting him to step aside amid concerns about his age.

But for all the headlines dominated by the latest politician, donor or liberal actor to turn on Mr Biden, a longer list of Democrats are sticking by him.

At least 80 Democratic politicians have publicly backed the 81-year-old, and more are joining them as he insists he is going nowhere.
