Addressing Cognitive Concerns

When asked about his mental fitness, Biden declined to take a cognitive test, stating, “I have a cognitive test every single day. Everything I do is a test.”

He reassured voters that he is fit to serve another term despite his age, pushing back against suggestions that he should step aside for a younger candidate following his recent debate performance against Donald Trump.

Democratic Doubts and Biden’s Response

During the interview, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos pressed Biden on his capacity to serve another term. Biden firmly stated, “I don’t think anybody’s more qualified to be president or win this race than me,” attributing his poor debate performance to exhaustion and a “bad cold.”

Biden attempted to ease Democratic fears, citing pollsters who told him the race is a “toss-up.”

Joe Biden Rebuttal to Calls for Withdrawal

Biden dismissed suggestions that he might be asked to stand aside, asserting, “It’s not going to happen.” He added, “If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race.

The Lord Almighty’s not coming down.” Despite addressing questions more clearly than during the debate, his voice occasionally sounded weak and hoarse.

Rally in Madison: Biden’s Energized Speech

In contrast to the interview, Biden appeared energized at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin. Acknowledging his poor debate performance, he told the crowd, “Ever since then, there’s been a lot of speculation.

What’s Joe going to do? Here’s my answer. I am running and going to win again.” Supporters in the crucial battleground state cheered his name.

Democratic Concerns and Biden’s Strategy

The interview and rally come at a critical moment for Biden’s campaign, as donors and Democratic allies consider whether to continue their support.

Biden’s campaign is aware that the next few days are crucial to regaining ground lost to Trump after the debate. At the rally, Biden addressed concerns about his age, questioning, “Was I too old to create 15 million jobs? Was I too old to erase student debt for five million Americans?

Do you think I’m too old to beat Donald Trump?” The crowd responded with a resounding “no.”

Internal Democratic Pressure

Pressure on Biden to step aside has grown since the debate, with major Democratic donors threatening to withhold funds unless he is replaced.

Despite this, Biden’s campaign is planning an aggressive comeback, with First Lady Jill Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris preparing to visit every battleground state this month.

Calls for Joe Biden to Withdraw

Some Democratic officials have publicly called for Biden to withdraw. Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts stated, “President Biden has done enormous service to our country, but now is the time for him to step aside and let new leaders rise up and run against Donald Trump.”

However, no senior Democrats have officially called on Biden to quit.

Future of Biden’s Candidacy

Reports suggest that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is scheduled to meet with senior House Democrats to discuss Biden’s candidacy.

Additionally, Senator Mark Warner is reportedly considering forming a group of Democratic senators to ask Biden to drop out. Despite these pressures, Biden remains resolute, emphasizing his determination to continue his re-election bid.

President Joe Biden’s interview and rally highlight his determination to remain in the race, despite mounting pressure from within his party.

As he continues to address concerns about his age and fitness, Biden’s campaign is focused on regaining momentum and securing support from Democratic allies and voters.
