WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will sit Friday for his first televised interview since his disastrous debate performance last week, one that could be crucial in determining whether he can salvage his embattled candidacy.
The interview with anchor George Stephanopoulos of ABC News is shaping up to be one of the most high-stakes moments for a president or a candidate in many years. Democratic elected officials, donors and voters will be closely watching to see whether he can still deliver in an adversarial setting and turn in a performance worthy of being the party’s nominee to defeat Donald Trump this fall.
The interview will “air in its entirety as a primetime special” at 8 p.m. ET Friday, ABC said, adding that a “transcript of the unedited interview will be made available the same day.”
The White House said it has “some flexibility” around the length of the sit-down but “no exact estimate” of the duration of the conversation.
Earlier in the day, Biden is expected to speak at a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin. The White House said the interview team from ABC “will be with us all day in Wisconsin” and able to cover the rally event and to observe the president as he participates in his schedule.
The big questions on many Democrats’ minds are: Were the frailty and incoherence he exhibited at the debate anomalies, or have they become common occurrences for Biden? Can he still mount a vigorous campaign with a reasonable chance of defeating Trump? And if not, would Democrats be better off if Biden stepped aside for a replacement candidate — most likely Vice President Kamala Harris — to be nominated at next month’s convention?

It all depends on how ABC defines the word “entirety”. Because I have no doubt that the show’s editor will be busy once the interview is over.
Stephanopoulos is an evil, little man. He is the point man for the globalist, America hating Disney Corporaion. These traiterous globalists will use all their illusionary, Hollywood techniques to try to save the demented criminal Biden. They see no other way to retain power than to prop up their demented sock puppet.
That’s my take too. If he starts with that “mean high school’ counselor” vibe, we’ll know Joey is toast...
I have a family member predicting that Stephanopoulos will “stab Caesar in the back.” I doubt it. The media will make one last hard push to save Biden. This interview is the start. It won’t work.
They are supposedly recording it today... could be doing it right now...
This will NOT be live. It was in fact recorded earlier this week. MSNBC is lying through its teeth claiming “Biden will sit Friday for an interview”. Unbelievable.
Et Tu Stephy
Bull. It’s not being recorded today. It was recorded earlier this week. Are you a shill for MSNBC?
“Snip, snip, snip, snip. The editors are going to have a real workout.”
If it is edited a lot it will be apparent. If it’s not and allows biden to be shown badly, it will be a sign that george got the instructions from dim leaders to cut biden loose.
Nine miles of recording for fifty feet of information. Too funny.
“Biden set for a high-stakes TV interview as he seeks to recover from first debate”
No, that’s a false NBC title:
The proper title is:
Biden set for a softball interview with Dim media apologizer Stephanopoulos.
It will be so edited as to look edited to make Biden look good. The Left won't care. They'll just use it as disinformation to show how "in control" Biden is. But, of course, the Left despises disinformation...
Be fair. It takes three days of material to produce a single half hour favorable fluff piece when Joey wants to yell at people.
“High stakes”, this is just insulting. A rigged set up to save Traitor Joe because it’s important to keep a mentally disabled scumbag running the country.
I’m going with this isn’t going to go well for Biden. Biden is Obama’s puppet no matter what anyone tries to tell us. It’s Obama’s people in all the powerful positions. The Clinton faction would like nothing better than to have some slight chance to get one of their minions into the White house or VP slot. Carville is all in behind finding a replacement candidate for Joe BiDone. Stephy, being from the same cadre of Clintonistas is taking his orders from Hillary. She plays dirty, so although she says shes behind BiDone, she will definately secretly stab his campaign in the back.
There was a lot of talk like this before the debate last week. I countered it then with Bongino’s take that Obama has decided to get rid of Biden. Everyone seemed to agree that CNN’s debate moderation was done well, despite the occasional left-wing centered questions. I know people don’t like to hear it, but Obama has enormous power in the American news media... that doesn’t mean he’s brilliant or even smart... it does mean he understands power.
“If its not live, its a scam.”
Repeat over and over. Ignore it entirely. It’s basically a contribution by ABC/Disney to the party and should be treated as such.
I expect extreme editing and AI fill in.
No so sure Georgie will be willing to back Biden, if it really goes south in this interview.
