According to Joe Biden himself, he believes that he is the most suitable candidate for President of the United States. “I don’t think there’s anyone better qualified to be president or to win this race than me,” the 81-year-old told ABC News. Reporter George Stephanopoulos asked him regarding losing the election The risk is not too high. Biden was undeterred. He stressed that only God might force him to withdraw from the race.
Asked whether he would abandon his campaign if congressional Democrats told him he was hurting their re-election chances, Biden said: “If the Almighty God told me, I probably would.” Learn how to do the job well. He also refused to undergo a medical examination to determine his mental health. . “I take cognitive tests every day. (…) You know, I don’t just campaign, I rule the world,” he argued. No one is saying such testing is necessary. The doctor will tell him he is fine.
The oldest president in U.S. history insists he is in good health for a second term. Biden made many promises during the debate a week ago but sometimes lost his thread and sometimes mightn’t finish his words. After the appearance, the debate over whether Biden is a suitable Democratic candidate for November’s presidential election has once once more heated up.
Asked regarding his performance in the debate with Trump, Biden said he “had a bad day.” “I got sick during the debate and felt terrible,” he said. Trump’s shouting also distracted him. He has made ten major appearances since the debate. “I’m still in good shape,” Biden assured.
Stephanopoulos gently but repeatedly asked Biden whether it was realistic that he might defeat Trump, as the polling gap between the two candidates widens and concerns among elected Democrats grow. Biden countered that the polls were unreliable.
The 22-minute interview, which Stephanopoulos said was not edited or edited, was closely watched by Democrats. A senior House Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity expressed skepticism to Reuters following seeing a short clip of Biden’s interview. “I don’t know how he (Biden) is going to get through this week as a candidate.” “I’ve seen enough,” said Ron Fournier, senior adviser to communications agency Truscott Rossman and a former White House correspondent.
Shortly before the interview aired, another Democratic representative publicly called on Biden to withdraw. McQuigley warned that “complete disaster” can only be avoided if Biden withdraws from the race. Sen. Mark Warner is reportedly trying to rally a group of Democrats behind him in an effort to convince Biden to drop out of the race. Asked regarding Warner, Biden said: “He’s a good guy (…). I respect him.”
Before the interview aired, Biden had stressed that he wanted to stay in the presidential race. “Let me say it as clearly as possible: I’m going to stay in the race. I’m going to beat Donald Trump,” he said at a campaign event in Madison, Wisconsin. “When you fall, you get back up,” the Democrat told cheering supporters. Referring to his opponent Trump, Biden said: “Guys, I can’t wait, let’s focus on what really matters, which is confronting the biggest liar and the biggest threat.”
However, the debut in Wisconsin was not smooth sailing. After announcing his intention to defeat Trump in the November election, Biden said: “I will beat him once more in 2020.” He was wrong regarding the year. In 2020, he defeated Trump for the first time. “By the way, we will do it once more in 2024.” He corrected immediately.
The Democrat is currently fighting on all fronts to save his presidential candidacy. The 81-year-old is under close observation – with his every appearance being scrutinized. Biden often finds it difficult to appear without being able to read from a teleprompter. He was often confused, mixing up names and places. This may be one reason why Democrats barely give any TV interviews. As pressure mounts, he has now been interviewed by star host Stephanopoulos, the former communications director for Democratic President Bill Clinton (1993-2001).
A third of Democrats believe the 81-year-old should drop out of the race for the White House, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Vice President Kamala Harris is considered the most likely successor in the case.
Biden has effectively clinched his party’s presidential candidacy – he will be formally elected at the Democratic convention in Chicago in August. The President of the United States collects the necessary delegate votes for this purpose during the primaries. He doesn’t have any major competition in the primary campaign. It’s unclear whether he will eventually throw in the towel.
