Biden says he ‘screwed up’ but vows to continue as polls show six-point lead for Trump

President gives interviews with stations in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as report says he plans to cut back on events after 8pm

Joe Biden has told a radio show he screwed up" and made a mistake" in last week's debate against Donald Trump, but vowed to stay in the election race, even as a series of polls show him now trailing the ex-president by about six points.

In two interviews conducted Wednesday and aired Thursday with local radio stations in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where he will also hold events this weekend, the president urged voters to judge him on his time in the White House.
