Frantic Joe Biden forces ABC to rush out crucial interview in FRIDAY primetime slot, after Democrats give him FOUR DAYS to prove himself - or quit
Daily Mail ^ | 7/04/24 | Geoff Earle,

The White House is frantically moving to get President Joe Biden in front of cameras and crowds on an expedited schedule this July 4th weekend after growing calls from within his party to step down after his debate disaster.

Biden's handlers had already put in place a taped, sit-down interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos to try to fend off calls from lawmakers and donors to demonstrate that he is still up to the task of campaigning.

But after a Wednesday meeting with the nation's governors that failed to quell mounting calls for his ouster from the Democratic ticket, ABC announced hours later that the entire interview - which had been slated to air in pieces over Saturday and Sunday mornings - would now air in one shot, on Friday night.

The prime time 8 pm broadcast will give Americans their first extensive look at the president in a Q&A format - albeit not live - since Biden trailed off, rattled off odd phrases, and appeared to lose his train of thought repeatedly during Thursday's debate with Donald Trump.

'The down-ballot freak-out from elected Democrats has not ebbed, and the negative media coverage and information flow about Biden's debate debacle has only intensified,' former Mitt Romney senior advisor Kevin Madden told DailyMail.com.

'As a result, the White House is motivated more by necessity than design to schedule a major interview. There's an urgency to get the President out there so he can address the blowback directly.'

But the move follows days of lost time when senior members of his own party raised doubts about his candidacy and three elected Democrats have called on him to step back.

'Friday is still a tardy response, given that this controversy will have been spiraling for over a week, but waiting until Sunday would...

A lot of white noise and rattling going on here from the mouthpieces of the left, it matters not as Harris will be even worse.  Pure, unadulterated schadenfreude. And those down ballot? They will get what they earned.

I think you misuderstand “Friday news dump.” In the old days, people often skipped buying the newspaper on Saturday, so news from Friday would go unread on Saturday, and newspapers could claim that news that was unflattering to their favored politicians was “stale” by Sunday.

Fridays USED to be TV night, but TV stations in the 1980s realized that their desired audience, know-nothing young adults still deciding on what products they favor, were the ones not watching TV, so TV networks started avoiding putting good shows on Friday. But Fridays are actually the day when most people watch the most media.

They’re giving Biden free campaign time.

Nothing but a multi million dollar campaign contribution. A taped edited ad. Disgusting attempt to keep a mentally disabled Traitor in the White House.

It’s actually stretching it to believe Biden will live four more years. He’s more frail than my father 6 months before he died.

Surely, an edited, pre-scripted, read by teleprompter, interview. I feel more calm already.

..the White House is motivated more by necessity than design to schedule a major interview.

We've all seen these 'smoke screen and camouflage' "interviews" before - all designed to gas light the public.

This is supposed to satisfy everyone that this guy is somehow really okay?

That’s all it’s gonna take?

Are we as a nation that gullible?

U.S. media moguls need to be imprisoned for endangering the national security of this country by blatantly manipulating and distorting the reality that is the incompetence of Joe Biden, in order to support the needs of its friends and benefactors in the Democrat party.

You know that is what they have done. Every Steven Spielberg special effect they could come up with.

He will look magnificent and sound even more magisterial.

We are so screwed.

I don’t trust ABC.

Let’s see a live press conference with at least two conservative reporters. (No teleprompters, ear buds, or contact lenses with script reading abilities..)

He also claimed to be the first black woman president today.

It’s not a live interview. It’s taped and edited.

Georgie's a old democrat Clinton operative. How he gets away with calling himself a 'journalist' is beyond me.

Everybody knows Brandon has left the building. Will ABC take the risk of trying to resuscitate the cadaver? Only adds to the cover-up. That’s percolatin’ out there as well.

NOTE: I’m not a doctor.

“while there’s no treatment for vascular dementia, early diagnosis and behavioral interventions can prevent further damage.”

I tend to think because of his long time with the dementia that’s the type of dementia Joe has. He may have another type too.

And I’d say very heavily edited. No telling how many times they had to do retakes.

Quotes:

“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30% chance we’re going to get it wrong.”

Biden may have gotten a big promotion on Jan. 20, but he proved early on in his term that he was still the same old gaffe-prone politician.

The White House later dismissed the remark, with Obama quipping at a prime-time press conference, “I don’t remember exactly what Joe was referring to, not surprisingly.”
