In a recent television interview with ABC News, President Joe Biden addressed calls from some Democrats for him to drop out of the 2024 race following his lackluster debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden confidently dismissed concerns about his health and low poll numbers, stating that he believes he is the most qualified candidate for president. Despite admitting to having a “bad night” during the debate, he took full responsibility for his performance and attributed it to exhaustion and a cold. Some Democrats, including Sen. Mark Warner, are working to urge Biden to consider stepping aside, while others, like Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have voiced doubt about his fitness for office. In response, Biden emphasized that his performance was an isolated incident and not indicative of a larger issue. He reaffirmed his commitment to staying in the race and defeating Trump, dismissing any suggestions of dropping out. The interview took place in Wisconsin, where Biden held a campaign rally before boarding Air Force One. Despite the pressure from some within his party, Biden remains determined to continue his campaign and secure victory in 2024.
