There were 6 points from Biden’s interview
What has a President Biden learned from his time in Washington, and why did he decide to run against Donald Trump in the midterm elections?
President Biden went on a campaign trip toWisconsin today, where he tried to move on from a bad debate performance.
At a rally, Biden shook the hands of dozens of people and spoke to the speculation about his future in the race. He said that he is going to win again and that he was running.
Biden may have calmed some nerves among some political allies with the interview, but he didn’t show the facility and coherence that Democrats would have wanted to see. His thoughts were, at times, scattered and less than clear.
With a growing number of Democrats questioning if Biden can beat Donald Trump in the election, this interview is another high-profile test of his cognitive abilities.
Nikema Williams told NPR that it is important for donors to hear from elected officials.
The governors said Biden is the nominee and Trump must be stopped. They didn’t ask if Biden was still the best person to take on Trump.
Josh Green, who was part of the Wednesday meeting, told All Things Considered that the president is still making up his mind.
Democrats have been panicked about Biden being able to beat Trump because of his poor debate performance last week.
He was deflecting and rationalizing away his vulnerabilities, but understanding why Biden hasn’t stepped aside is to understand his politics and the core of who he is as a person. He has faced a lot of challenges and obstacles, and those have made him who he is. Biden is used to people telling him he can’t or he shouldn’t do something, and he believes the naysayers have long been wrong.
Historian Douglas Brinkley once said of former President George W. Bush, “Stubbornness is a positive quality of presidential leadership—if you’re right about what you’re stubborn about.”
He wondered who else would have the reach he has with allies and if anyone else could do foreign policy as well as he can.
Not even his vice president? Stephanopoulos didn’t follow up with that, but it was curious. It should come as no surprise to anyone running for office, but how close Biden has been to Harris lately and given her age, it looks like she could have just won a boxing match.
We are going into week two after the debate. public opinion can take several weeks to solidify. Polls this week have shown Biden hurt by the debate – the degree to which is debatable.
He will be helped if he is where he was before the debate. If he slips further behind Trump, there will be more Democrats calling for him to step aside.
The GOP doesn’t seem to care about if the nominee paid off a porn star, if he ran a fake university, if two dozen women accuse him of sexual assault, or if he ran a fraudulent foundation.
