Looks typo from CNN. I ask you, is President Biden an “it”. I think they should shut down their news organization. 'it' refers to the statement, although it would have been written as 'it continued'. It’s a quote so should have said “he added”. It's a quote of a written statement, so no. I think it's only appropriate to use personal pronouns for actual verbal statements. Hardly worth arguing about but you’re wrong
