“Biden either needs to win a landslide victory over Trump or pass the baton to someone who can do it,” Schiff said in an interview with NBC.
According to him, a quick decision must be made on whether Biden should continue in the election race.
He noted that Biden’s interview with ABC “did not alleviate concerns” but rather increased them following his unconvincing performance in the televised debates regarding his ability to serve a second term.
Schiff believes that US Vice President Kamala Harris “would be an exceptional president” and “might win a landslide” in the presidential election if she became the Democratic nominee in the elections.
“I believe she has the experience, judgment and leadership ability to be an extraordinary president,” he added.
Biden announced that he was staying in the presidential race before telling a crowd in Madison, Wisconsin, that he would defeat his rival Donald Trump “ once more in 2020.”
Biden had previously confirmed during a fundraising event for his election campaign in New York City that he was fully confident in his ability to perform his duties as president of the country.
The American media agree that Biden’s performance was weak in the first debate with his predecessor, Donald Trump, which took place on Friday evening in Atlanta, as the current US president stuttered and stopped frequently, and did not always formulate his thoughts clearly. At the end of the event, the television camera captured the moment when his wife, Jill Biden, helped him down the stairs.
