President Joe Biden’s first televised interview since last week’s debate meltdown did little to stop the bleeding.
Members of Congress and top Democratic operatives told POLITICO shortly after Biden’s sit down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos aired that the president was more energetic and forceful than he was on stage during last week’s showdown with Donald Trump — but it likely won’t be enough to tame the panic.
And many were shocked by the president’s blatant denial about his standing in the race, and his repeated dismissal of his party’s widespread concerns. It’s an approach some Democrats described as “dangerous.”
“He was more animated and made a strong case for what he has done. But the question the debate raised is about his fitness for the next four years, not his performance in the past four years,” said David Axelrod, the longtime Democratic operative who helped lead Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns. “And he simply doesn’t acknowledge that concern. He also is in denial about where he is in this race.”
A House Democrat, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said: “Denial of the problem is not a solution or a path forward to convincing our constituents that he has the capacity or the vision for four more years.”
And another Democratic operative who has advised the White House called the interview a “stay of execution” but added that the president’s “acceptance of losing to Trump as long as he tried his best will make his hand significantly worse with every Democratic office holder who does not want to lose their seat.”

They never should have become communist and committed a coup to install him.
Hay, it’s just Lunch Bucket Joe.
One of the peeps deeply involved in the High Tech Lynching of Clarence Thomas.
Bezos speaks
Sort of
>> He’s a narcissist and weirdly egocentric.
And his close family is also narcissistic and egocentric. Constant reinforcement from his echo chamber.
“God looks out for drunks, little children, and the United States of America.”
Exactly.
It just feels like a “hot” day at the casino—you never know when they are about to happen, but you know when they are happening.
Joe is playing 8d chess with them. He wants to force them into a corner where they say Joe hasn’t been running anything all this time, then he can say, “see these past 4 years were not my fault”. ;D
Well, boys and girls who pull the strings, you’ll just have to try a bit harder. Meanwhile, Joe, I think you should see if you have enough pull to get that virtual nomination meeting some floated.
Lord how I love to see these lockstep simpletons fight among themselves
“And many were shocked by the president’s blatant denial about his standing in the race...”
The hell they are. They see a good scenario when it kicks them in the teeth. Look at the alternatives:
Starting with the least possibility unless they can figure out a way to get more dead people voting...Biden wins. Then they can finish the job of destroying the US.
Someone besides Trump wins and it frees the liberals of the responsibility of cleaning up their own mess. And the liberals can blame Biden’s illness for their losing if it’s a conservative.
Trump wins and he’s stuck with trying to clean up all the damage the liberals have done while they look over his shoulder kibitzing everything he does portraying it a screwup and in 2028 they can come back in on a “we will save you campaign.” And they will take credit for everything Trump gets done because the republican party is a bunch of lying rinos that won’t back Trump because he’s not one of their insiders.
Everything in there is a positive for the liberals as they are losing their following and need to get it back. Poor Joe can be the soldier that falls on his sword, and the liberals can come back the heros in your heart. Win/win across the board whether they win the POTUS or not. Can’t miss. They had been planning for someone like Obama for 50 years. They’re patient enough to wait 4 more to find another one.

If the Democrats had just gone along with an Impeachment, Biden would be out by now.
before they realize they’re chumps.
The libtards will never admit to being chumps, and the libtards will ignore that they have been lied to about anything, because “Abortion, children, environment “ are the only things they care about. Karens still say “Wear your mask.”
ha! all that Dem blather about DJT never leaving WH if there again has landed on them in spades with JoeyBoy.he’s not leaving. he’s not taking a cognitive test. he’s King of the Hill with thousands of delegates and obviously being advised to hang on for dear life. ha! the Big Lie of the last 4 years has exploded all over its evil doers.ha! their Frankenstein is in control! the downside is unless they pull the Kamala 25thA card and oust him, we have to live in danger the next 7 months.
There is great danger here.
Trump has dominated media via the courtroom for months.
Now, Biden is dominating it. Do not think this won’t reflect in the polls.
This looks orchestrated, and it’s very clever.
And there’s an iceberg up ahead…
LOL
Same old Joe.
The obvious lies have been part and parcel of his brain problem for many years.
Joe’s handlers are confused because the Politicians and the Media has looked the other way for five years.
Biden didn’t change, the Polls changed, and they want to switch horses.
>> There is great danger here... Do not think this won’t reflect in the polls. bla bla bla
You say that like it’s the truth, straight from GOD’s lips to your ear, but in fact it’s just your opinion based on scenario building, dot connecting, and little else.
I don’t buy what you’re selling.
It was clear how much liberals hate America when they let that anti-American, traitorous, daughter molesting bully push his way to the Presidency but the way they have dug in, it is apparent that liberals are willing to let America be destroyed just so they can stay in power.
