US President Joe Biden said on his last working day that he was "not going anywhere."

"I'm not going anywhere. No kidding," Biden said while attending a black Christian gathering in South Carolina, where the Republican candidate beat the Democratic candidate in the election.

Biden's last full-time working day ended with a visit to two churches. On Sunday morning, he spoke to reporters on the topic of the Palestinian settlement, but refused to answer questions because he was expected at the meeting.

The outgoing president repeatedly stumbled during his first speech.

"I'm from… I'm from... from the state of Delaware, the "steel state" went bankrupt, I'm from Scranton, Pennsylvania, it wasn't very good there either," Biden said.

"The southern parts of my state were talking as funny as you, you know what I mean," Biden addressed the black parishioners.

"I used to go during the engagement… I didn't plan on… I liked reading biographies, so I knew that I would be president. I used to stutter," he said.

In the second meeting, in front of a teleprompter and with black chorus girls behind him, the outgoing president at first felt more confident. He joked that the choir is a doubled prayer, and the performance he heard was a quadruple one.

He introduced his relatives, daughter, son Hunter, spouse and child to the audience. But he stumbled when he told me what belief he and his wife shared about prayer.

"Black history is the history of America. Black culture is American culture," Biden said.
