Instead of reassuring Democrats, Biden's ABC News interview may have accelerated the revolt against his nomination.
President Joe Biden’s make-or-break interview with ABC News on Friday night did little to convince alarmed Democrats that he is capable of winning the election and serving another four years in the White House. But among the more jarring moments in the interview was when Biden framed his insistence on running in this critically important election — and his potential defeat — as a personal endeavor.
“And if you stay in and Trump is elected, and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?” asked ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.
“I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all and I did [as] good a job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,” Biden said.
To hear Biden say the election is about putting his best foot forward is striking, given the stakes as Democrats themselves have described them. And the growing public discontent within his own party suggests that not all Democrats believe they are giving this election their all with Biden as the nominee.
Biden also demonstrated an unwillingness to address real concerns about his fitness for office, dismissing his flagging poll numbers and a belief among some Democrats and donors that he cannot beat Trump.
Instead of reassuring Democrats, the interview may accelerate the revolt against his nomination. After it aired, two more House Democrats, Reps. Mike Quigley and Angie Craig, joined the calls for Biden to step aside.
An anonymous House Democrat told NBC News: “It made me sad. Completely out of touch with reality and insulated from truth. I’ll be breaking my silence soon.”

And did the goodest job.
“I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about…”
Sounding like Obama at times in 2012, only to win by 5%.
He didn’t win because he gave it an all in 2020.
that one statement revealed the truth of the matter, Biden is simply power hungry, otherwise he would gladly hand the torch over to someone else better suited to beat Trump in order to save the world.
“Goodest” means “as good as”, come on, words don’t mean what the dictionary says!
Can’t wait to hear Jill screeching her approval to him afterwards, like an old hag cheerleader on amphetamines.
It’s all about you, FJB. It’s all about you.
F the country.
I like this, Biden saying Mano e Mano, the Country can choose, Me or Donald.
Joey, Joey, u supposed to say u HAVE TO WIN TO SAVE DEMOCRACY!!!, dats what u peeps say
But if u wanna lose we’ll get u a participation trophy
Democrat’s voted for Joe in their primaries.
Joe must remain as their Presidential candidate
The super delegates must not remove Joe
Democracy hangs in the balance
Yes, Joe Biden....you gave it your all & it was your policies against the U.S.A. that has caused most if not all of the problems we now have. Why is what you have done not espionage?
You,Joe Biden of all people should know what our law says about espionage. And you are apparently worried about what might happen if a more suitable president would be elected in November? That should be the least of your worries if someone suitable is elected.
