President Biden Reiterates Confidence in Beating Trump in ABC Interview
United States President Joe Biden reiterated his confidence in beating Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election in a much-anticipated interview with ABC News. Biden, 81, emphasized that he faces cognitive tests every day as President, dismissing concerns about his age and capability. In the interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden acknowledged his poor debate performance against Trump, attributing it to exhaustion and a bad cold. While a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that one in three Democrats want Biden to drop out of the race, Biden remains steadfast in his belief that he is the best candidate to defeat Trump. However, growing doubts among Democrats about Biden's ability to serve another term and beat Trump are evident, with some party donors and leaders openly expressing their concerns. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey called on Biden to carefully evaluate his decision to run, urging him to listen to the American people and consider whether he remains the Democrats' best hope to defeat Trump. Amidst this backdrop, the interview with ABC News, closely watched by Democrats, did little to alleviate concerns about Biden's age and fitness for office, with some questioning his ability to handle the demanding job of the presidency for another four years.
