'Don't you quit,' crowd
chants as invigorated
President Joe Biden
rallies in Detroit
An impassioned, invigorated President Joe Biden on Friday tried to flip the script on his reelection campaign as he faces pressure from some critical Democrats to abandon his nomination, telling a rollicking crowd of supporters at a Detroit rally that the focus should be on the threat former President Donald Trump poses to the country.
Greeted with huge applause by a crowd of thousands at Renaissance High School who chanted "Don't You Quit" and "We've Got Your Back" and interrupted him several times to show their support, Biden appeared not only ready to take the fight to Trump, who is running against Biden for reelection, but to feed off the crowd's ceaseless energy, his voice remaining strong and his demeanor feisty during a 35-minute address.
...
"I know him. Donald Trump is a loser," Biden thundered as he began...
...
"I know Americans want a president, not a dictator"...
...
"MOTOWN IS JOETOWN."
...
...ahead of Biden's visit, a group of metro Detroit Democratic state lawmakers penned a letter expressing their "unwavering support"...

The location of the Biden rally in Detroit holds significance for the president's reelection prospects. The biggest city in Michigan — a crucial battleground state — is one of the nation's largest majority-Black cities and a Democratic stronghold.
