The highly anticipated interview comes on the heels of a debate that left Democrats in disarray, with many expressing dismay over Biden’s lackluster performance. Throughout the debate, Biden appeared befuddled, prompting moderators to guide him through responses and resort to tired Democratic falsehoods like the “very fine people” hoax and the “suckers and losers” fabrication.
Democrats, desperate to salvage Biden’s floundering campaign, received some reinforcement from former President Barack Obama, who attempted to downplay the significance of Biden’s debate debacle. Nonetheless, not all Democrats are on board with the strategy to prop up Biden, with Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas even calling for his withdrawal from the race.

Doggett’s assertion that Biden’s performance failed to captivate voters adequately and that the former Vice President trails behind Democratic senators and Donald Trump in polls underscores the mounting pressure on the Biden camp. The Democratic split on Biden’s competence in facing Trump indicates the internal turmoil within the party as they struggle to present a united front against the incumbent President.
