President Joe Biden is set to hold a rally in Wisconsin and give his first televised interview since his debate performance. The interview with ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos will be a high-stakes moment, with Democrats closely watching to see if Biden can still deliver in an adversarial setting and prove he can defeat Donald Trump. The interview will air as a primetime special, and Biden is also expected to speak at a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin, to emphasize the stakes of the election.
Democrats are concerned about Biden’s frailty and incoherence from the debate and are questioning if he can still run a vigorous campaign. Some are suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris should replace Biden as the nominee if he steps aside. Polls show mixed results post-debate, with some showing a drop in support for Biden. Biden has reassured Democrats that he is staying in the race despite calls for him to drop out.
Biden is torn between acceptance that he might have to step aside and defiance in the face of those calls. He has conceded that he has slipped when it comes to his communication skills but believes he is still capable of being president. Trump has criticized Stephanopoulos and called for another debate without moderators. Biden’s upcoming interview may be crucial in determining the next steps for his candidacy as Democrats are nervous about his ability to defeat Trump and win other House and Senate seats.
