President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.
The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well.
“He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place” by the end of the weekend, said the ally, referring to Mr. Biden’s halting and unfocused performance in the debate. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.
Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, said the claim was “absolutely false” and that the White House had not been given enough time to respond.

Haha, looks like someone else posted at the same time as me!
Here come all the so-called leaks.
BS, this isn't an interview, it's an edited campaign ad which will prove nothing. Just like reading a teleprompter means nothing. Not having a single actual press conference in 4 years tells me everything I need to know.
What “ally”? This is bull.
An Ally?
Wha?
yep
and the nyt ran with it
this is gonna be so much fun
Biden is desperately trying to find a way out of the mess he’s in, but its too late. The entire world saw his condition and there’s nothing he can do to erase that indelible image now. And then there’s the distrust factor: people are very aware of the long cover up.
All that’s left is trying to salvage some respectable way of managing his resignation.
Even if he wanted to drop out, which I doubt, Jill and Hunter won’t let him. They have too much riding on Joe remaining in the White House.
The Biden crime family must be close to a $$$ # they can agree to, to bail out!
It’ll be all about how much cash they can leave with, and keeping any/all of em out of the clink!
“Biden is desperately trying to find a way out of the mess he’s in, but its too late. “
By “Biden,” I assume you mean “Jill.” Joe doesn’t know what room he’s in at any given moment.
watch him when he is walking and when he is not talking and it is most obvious.
Even in that rally the day after the debate, watch Joe off to the side waiting to speak, you can clearly see it even there, even though when speaking (reading off the teleprompters) a few minutes later he seemed fine.
Yep, it’s over for Biden. The only remaining questions are related to timetables, who, when, where and how.

That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had provided us with more than 7 minutes to comment we would have told them so.
The only way Stephanopolus’ interview works is if they start a time synch clock at the beginning and make it a single camera shoot. No edits.
ABC would never do that. It’s smoke and mirrors.
Does Joe want to impress? A live, impromptu 60 minute press conference would do the trick.
It would be a start, but imho too late and not enough.
And this is good - I'm all good with the now fully exposed charade continuing.
Will Jake Sullivan or Kirby be questioned about their cover up. Their running the country?
Have you seen the pathetic questions the WH press asks? It's more likely they will ask them what flavor ice cream they enjoy with Biden.
You’re crazy if you want another contender than Biden. Trump is miles ahead and now we laugh because the Dims may find another candidate?
