Joe Biden has a tough task ahead as he gears up for an extended interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. This interview comes in the wake of Biden’s lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump, where he left many questioning his mental acuity. With only 23 interviews under his belt during his presidency so far, compared to Trump’s 54 at a similar point, Biden is facing scrutiny for his ability to lead the nation.

It's clear that George Stephanopoulos is trying to rescue Biden. Expect a heavily edited interview with scripted questions.
But Biden is beyond saving. Even his most devoted supporters know this.

Following the debate fiasco, there was a significant backlash from Democrat donors and activists, along with widespread disbelief among viewers at the prospect of Biden potentially leading the country in his current state. The pressure is on for Biden to prove his mental sharpness in this interview, especially after his embarrassing display on the debate stage.
The stakes are high not just for Biden, but also for Stephanopoulos and ABC, who have the opportunity to shape the narrative surrounding Biden’s candidacy. If Biden falters in this interview, it could further erode confidence in his ability to lead and make decisions. The friendly environment of the interview suggests that hard-hitting questions may be avoided in favor of portraying Biden in a more favorable light to the viewers.
As Biden steps into the spotlight once again, all eyes will be on him to see if he can dispel the doubts raised by his recent performance. Whether he can convincingly demonstrate awareness and coherence remains to be seen, but the outcome of this interview could have significant implications for his campaign moving forward.
