Stephanopoulos asks again if he's had more lapses in the last six months. If he's frail. Biden keeps telling him it's not true. Says his doctor told him after the debate that he was exhausted.
"Have you had a full neurological and cognitive evaluation?"
Biden lists all the tests he's had.
"No one said I had to, I'm good."
(Biden's voice is a bit hoarse. Perhaps this is after the Madison rally.)
Stephanopoulos asks how he can convince people he will be capable for his second term. Biden lists yet again all his accomplishments, including international relations.
"Do you have the mental and physical capacity to do this for another four years?"
"I wouldn't be running if I didn't think I could."
Stephanopoulos says "you're falling further behind." Biden replies that polling isn't as reliable as it used to be, which Stephanopoulos acknowledges, but notes polls in battleground states. "I carried a lot of Democrats the last time I ran in 2020." Also recalls the so-called "red wave" in 2022 that never materialized.
Biden says the "discontent" is coming from the press, not Democrats. Says that Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi support him; they talk all the time, they've never expressed any concern.
Stephanopoulos keeps throwing hypotheticals at him; Biden finally has enough and says "I'm not going to answer that."
@MarceloPaezPereda Do you really think "swing voters" are going to vote for a rapist fraudster felon who's also old instead of the decent candidate with an excellent track record because the latter is also old?
The media are being hypocritical. We don't hear any of them calling for Trump to drop out. Side by side, there's no comparison.
If voters choose the felon, then we deserve what we get. Which is a sad comment on this nation.
No, I don't think and I never said that swing voters are going to vote for Trump. For a huge number of voters the choice is not Biden or Trump but Biden or staying at home. The media is just pointing out that the number of voters that are still going to vote for Biden is not enough to win the election,. It doesn't matter if you or I agree with their motivations.

After looking at this video, check out Murdoch's Sinclair Rightwing dumbcluck requirements for their owned local stations. Sinclair sponsored this garbage pit of a hit piece. https://youtu.be/_fHfgU8oMSo

Thanks for posting this but the interview is not going to convince swing voters.
