To “prove” that his disastrous presidential debate was just a single incident and not a condition, Biden was pressed to accept an interview already this Friday, 5 July, with his old friend, ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.
There has been private discussion among Biden’s campaign about what it can do to counteract last Thursday’s debate, where the raspy-voiced president gave some convoluted and incomplete answers. It has given rise to some questions about whether the 81-year-old president should continue his campaign.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also said Tuesday that Biden plans to hold a press conference during the NATO summit next week in Washington.

If Biden blunders the interview on Friday, the Democrats and donors will throw Biden out already by this weekend.
But even if Biden manages to stumble through the upcoming Friday interview, which will be very friendly, the issue of Biden’s cognitive condition will only continue and increase among the Democrats.
The genie is out of the bottle for Democrats to strongly point out Biden’s incapacity. This won’t go away.
New York Times has openly dumped Biden, and now Democrat Congress members are starting to do the same.
On Tuesday, Mr. Biden suffered his first formal call to resign from the race from a Democratic member of Congress. The key Black lawmaker whose endorsement helped lift Mr. Biden to the nomination in 2020 said he would back the vice president if Mr. Biden “were to step aside.” And former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after Mr. Biden’s halting debate performance that it was “a legitimate question to say, ‘Is this an episode or is this a condition?’”
For days, the Biden campaign has insisted privately to donors and party activists and in memos that the race remains unchanged. But a private set of polls from a pro-Biden super PAC leaked to the news site Puck showed the president losing ground — around two percentage points — across all the most important battleground states. He was also now trailing in New Mexico, New Hampshire and Virginia, three states that were not seen a year ago as likely even to be contested seriously by Republicans.

Democrats are being humiliated by having a leader who increasingly freezes, loses his thoughts, talks gibberish, and cannot find his way, even on the White House lawn. Soon, Democrats will start being despised for this as well.
The next times Biden falls apart, and there will be many more and bigger next times, the growing snowball of Democratic anger, beginning self-hatred, feeling of impotence, and discontent will overroll Biden.
Biden is already out.
