"I am running and we're going to win. I'm not going to change anything," Biden said, rejecting any suggestion that he might leave the race with questions as to whether, at age 81, he is fit for another term and can beat Trump in November. "I'm the only Democrat or Republican that has ever beaten Donald Trump and I'm going to beat him again."

As for Trump, Biden said he was an enemy to democracy and a friend to authoritarians and hammered away at a vision concocted by the conservative Heritage Foundation for a conservative, top-to-bottom revamping of the federal government which his campaign has claimed is "a project built for Trump," even though the former president has tried to distance himself from the plan. The 900-plus-page "Project 2025" framework includes calls for upending the present civil service system, giving presidents more power to appoint and fire workers, eliminating the Education Department, limiting abortion pills and pursuing other conservative policies.

Biden also laid out his vision for the first 100 days of his second term if reelected. He vowed to make Roe v. Wade “the law of the land.” Among the other policy goals he put forward, he vowed to sign into law new voting rights legislation, expand Social Security and Medicare by drawing in more tax revenue from wealthy Americans, raise the federal minimum wage, ban assault weapons and create a permanent child care tax credit.

As he faces calls to drop out of the race, Biden has visited Democratic strongholds in key battleground states. In addition to his stop in Michigan on Friday, Biden has held campaign events in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. In 2016, Trump won those three previously dubbed "blue wall" states that hadn't backed the GOP presidential candidate since the 1980s. But Biden won the trio of toss-up states in 2020, defeating Trump.
