President Biden sat down with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos on Friday while he was in Madison, Wisconsin for a campaign rally. Oof.
I watched it live when it aired in primetime. Everyone has their opinion about the interview, either from watching it or from watching video clips. The very brief interview deserves to be the center of attention today. And tomorrow. And further down the road.
The interview was supposed to calm Democrats down. It was supposed to prove that Old Joe has it in him to be president. It did the opposite. As expected, Biden showed he is an old man who suffers from dementia. Harsh, but true.
Here is a tweet I posted as I watched;
The wrap-up: Biden doesn’t believe the polls, he won’t take a cognitive test, and he listens to a very small inner circle who want him to stay in the race – Jill, Hunter included.
