Joe Biden's First Post-Debate Interview With George Stephanopoulos Just Dug Him Into a Deeper Hole

President Joe Biden gave his first post-debate television interview to reassure Americans he could handle another four years in office-- but it turns out, it wasn't just one "bad night."

After a shaky debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week, Biden has faced an avalanche of pressure to drop out of the 2024 race, citing his cognitive decline.

Biden, who says he's staying in the race, has defied calls to drop out of the running, confident he will beat Trump.

The 81-year-old president agreed to a sit-down interview with CBS News’ George Stephanopoulos because he said he would not let a 90-minute debate overshadow all of his so-called “accomplishments” from the past three years.

Stephanopoulos asked Biden if his disastrous debate performance was a "bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition?”

However, the host pushed back, pointing out that Biden had spent the entire week prior vacationing at Camp David.

It is worth noting that Biden has spent more than 40 percent of his presidency on vacation and his days are similar to someone who works a cushiony 9-5.

Biden also blamed his troubling debate performance on jet lag. However, Stephanopoulos pointed out that he had over a week— 12 days to be exact— to recover.

The senile president also has no clue whether he watched the debate.

On Friday, during a rally in Wisconsin, Biden pushed back against critics who say it’s time for him to pass the torch. Instead, the president declared he would “win again in 2020” as he bashed former President Donald Trump.

“What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What are you going to do?” Biden told the crowd. “Well, here’s my answer: I am running and I’m going to win again.”

It would be very easy to get the dems to vote for 25th Amendment removal. They are really good at “just following orders.” It will be hard for Republicans to vote against removal. It’s too fine and nuanced to say “He’s not unfit for office today, but vote against him in November.”

The political argument against removal is that millions of voters just voted for Biden the Rat primary, and their voices must be heard. Politically, since it appears that Obama is actually calling the shots, it doesn't matter who the puppet is. The puppet master will still be in charge regardless if Biden is removed or not.
