This is make or break week for Biden and his candidacy, the calls for him to step down are getting louder too?!! Biden's interview did little to reassure the skeptics?!!
Pointing to large crowds at weekend rallies in battleground states across the U.S, President Joe Biden laughed off the notion that he is seriously ill and pushed back against naysayers across the political and entertainment industries calling for him to step down from the Democratic presidential ticket, assuring all that he’s “not going anywhere” on a defiant phone call into MSNBC on Monday.
The offensive from the Biden campaign comes after his disastrous performance at the first presidential debate on June 27 and uninterrupted and unedited interview on Friday with ABC News, which did little to assuage fears of not only the incumbent losing the presidency to presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump but also that a red wave would hand Republicans the Senate and House.
“The bottom line here is that we’re not going anywhere,” an energized Biden said on the phone call into Morning Joe, where he spoke directly to hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. “I am not going anywhere. I wouldn’t be running if I didn’t absolutely believe that I am the best candidate to beat Donald Trump in 2024.”
Biden’s attitude and confidence on the call were in sharp contrast to how he appeared at the first debate in Atlanta and on ABC in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, where the president’s words were again confused and meandering at times. Brzezinski, at one moment, pointed out the growing number of publications, editors and editorial boards and Democratic leaders who, after seeing Biden’s performance in both the debate and the ABC News interview, have said it’s time for him to quit the race. The host mentored The New York Times editorial board, The Economist magazine, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Boston Globe, Congressmen Jerry Nadler and Seth Moulton, New Yorker editor David Remnick and others as abandoning Biden.
“I don’t care what those big names think. They were wrong in 2020, they were wrong in 2022 about the red wave, and they’re wrong in 2024,” Biden said. “Come out with me. Watch, watch people react. You make a judgment.”
Biden added, “I’m getting so frustrated by the elites … the elites in the party who — they know so much more. Any of these guys don’t think I should, run against me: Go ahead. Challenge me at the convention.”
After Biden’s phone call, at least one high-profile Hollywood figure shared her support for the president. On The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg firmly stood by the president in his reelection bid — at least for now.
