President Joe Biden has delivered a strong speech before a friendly audience at a rally in Detroit, the BBC's Nada Tawfik reports.

The Democrat has faced intense scrutiny after a series of high-profile gaffes in recent weeks.

But in a fiery rally, the 81-year-old told supporters that he can beat former President Donald Trump in November's election.

The crowd in Michigan chanted "don't you quit'' and "four more years".
