President Biden left no ambiguity about his intentions to stay in the 2024 election during a Michigan rally on Friday.

Speaking in Detroit to a crowd that Democrats say passed 2,000 attendees, Biden characterized himself as a people's champion under siege by elitist powers in Washington D.C.

"I’m the nominee of this party because 14 million Democrats like you voted for me in the primaries," Biden told the crowd.

He continued, "You made me the nominee, no one else. Not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not donors — you the voters. You decided, no one else, and I’m not going anywhere."

The Detroit crowd offered multiple coordinated cheers in support of Biden, including "Don’t you quit" and "We’ve got your back."

Biden faces increased calls to step down as the Democratic nominee following his performance at the first presidential debate, however strategists with knowledge of presidential campaigns say irreversible damage has not been done to his re-election efforts.

"You’ve probably noticed a lot of speculation lately. What’s Joe Biden going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out?" Biden shouted during the rally. "Here’s my answer — I am running, and we’re going to win."
