Biden admits that he had “a bad night” in the debate and that he “shook the up”
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, acknowledged on Thursday in a radio interview that he “hit a shit” during the presidential debate against former President Donald Trump, but promised to continue in the electoral race.
In a conversation with radio host Earl Ingram, which is broadcast on a radio in the key state of Wisconsin, the president assured that he “made a mistake” a week ago during the debate.
“I had a bad night. The fact is that I screwed up,” the president said.
“I was wrong (…) but I learned from my father that when you fall, you get up and we are going to win these elections; we are going to defeat Donald Trump just like we did in 2020,” he added.
After the meeting with the Republican on the national network, where at times Biden could not follow the thread of the conversation or his words were not understood, the president has faced increasing pressure to abandon his candidacy.
Both political analysts, as well as the media, Democratic donors and two members of Congress have publicly asked Biden to leave the nomination.
Two surveys conducted after last week’s debate and published on Wednesday also showed that Trump’s advantages in key states have increased since that television meeting.
A Wall Street Journal poll concluded that Trump could win with 48% of the vote against Biden, who would stay with 42%. Meanwhile, a poll by The New York Times showed that Trump’s advantage over Biden had expanded three points after the debate, so that he would now win with 49% versus 43%.
In Thursday’s interview, Biden spoke directly to the voters of the key state, in particular the African-American community, whose vote strengthened the Democrat’s victory in 2020.
“I didn’t have a good debate, but that was only 90 minutes; look at everything I’ve done in 3 and a half years,” Biden stressed and listed a series of “accomplyss” of his Government, including economic measures.
The president criticized Trump for saying during the debate that migrants are taking jobs from the black population of the United States.
“What he’s doing is embarrassing, talking about ‘afro’ jobs as if the only thing black people can do is manual work; that’s what he’s doing and that’s how he sees it,” Biden said in the interview.
Wisconsin, in the north of the country, is considered a “hinge” state, that is, victory is not guaranteed for either party. In 2020, Biden had a narrow victory in the region with a margin of only 0.63% against Trump.
The average of polls in that state keep Biden and Trump technically tied, but the margin in favor of the Republican has been slightly widened after last week’s debate.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
