Joe Biden vows still to run in presidential election and plays down disastrous debate with Trump as 'bad episode'.
The Democrat president said he was 'completely' ruling out the possibility of quitting the race for the White House, despite calls from some in his party after the debate last week.
Mr Biden, 81, spoke incomprehensibly at times during the debate and his attention appeared to drift, sparking concerns for his mental state.

Matt Frei and Professor Sarah Churchwell discuss the Democrats' future.
