A defiant President Joe Biden on Friday downplayed his poor performance in last week’s debate in what had become a high-stakes interview on ABC, as questions swirled over the future of his candidacy.
Here are six takeaways from Biden’s interview with ABC News.
1. Biden says debate was a ‘bad night,’ not a bigger problem.
2. The president takes ownership of poor performance, but offers a new excuse.
3. Biden won’t take a cognitive test and release it to voters.
4. Biden denies polls show him losing to Trump.
5. Biden brushes off nervous Dems: Only the ‘Lord Almighty’ could get him to leave the race.
6. Biden gets fired up and shows off his energy at Wisconsin rally.
Biden’s speech during that rally was animated and energetic – though he seemed to realize that each of his words would be parsed and carefully scrutinized in this politically crucial period. He vowed to “beat Trump again in 2020” before quickly realizing his mistake and correcting himself: “By the way, we’re gonna do it again in 2024.” Slamming Trump’s economic policy, Biden said his opponent “wants another 5 billion - trillion, trillion, not billion - $5 trillion tax cut.”
He directly addressed criticisms about his age: “I wasn’t too old to create over 50 million new jobs, to make sure 21 million Americans are insured under the Affordable Care Act, to beat Big Pharma. … Was I too old to relieve student debt for nearly 5 million Americans?”
Biden said unnamed forces are “trying to push him out of the race.”
“Well, let me say this as quick as I can,” he added. “I’m staying in the race.”
That point was punctuated by the song that played as Biden’s speech concluded: Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”

I’m sure that Joe thinks, OF COURSE, I’LL WIN...DON’T YOU REMEMBER HOW THE CORRUPT ELECTION BOARDS, WEAK LEGISLATURES, PHONY BALLOTS WORKED FOR ME IN 2020?
LOOK AT WISCONSIN...THEY ARE ALREADY PREPARING FAKE BALLOTS AND PROVIDING MANY “DROP BOXES” FOR THE CHEATS TO REPRISE WHAT THEY DID FOUR YEARS AGO.
so, OF COURSE, HE’LL WIN.
Even TomPetty would have a difficult time supporting a pedophile
7) He’s toast.
Lucky Seven
7. Biden is in la la land.
Meanwhile, Trump is a pathilogical and congenital liar’ -
28 or 27 lies.
“How edited was the speech [interview, actually]?”
zero ... it was shown live from beginning to end, and if you had watched it, you would have seen that it would be impossible to edit something like this and have it come out looking coherent ...
Herman Melville would still be writing books were bidet been around when he was writing.
Despite having spent a week relaxing at Camp David, Biden did poorly on the night of the debate because he was “exhausted”. I am still trying to compute that one.
Is that a dare?
A very cocky man said a dangerous statement (to the public in general) about the LORD God and the Titanic.....
Uh...
That comment didn’t age well.
Also, I don’t recall who it was...HOWEVER...a female former (?) prosecutor/AG of Clinton said Bush (if I recall correctly) wouldn’t be elected, “as long as I [she] am alive.”
I remember thinking that was a very arrogant thing to say, no matter the outcome....
She died shortly before the election.

Famous last words…
“Do people actually believe the polls that have women showing slightly *more* support for Biden since the debate?”

CJB
When Biden made his boast that only God could tell him to quit someone on Fox said pranksters were making calls to say they were God and Joe should quit.
You cant compare two polls from different companies. Anyone who broadcasts such nonsense is using Democrat/Obama spin
Biden said.....
‘I’m the guy that put NATO together’.
He is not.
‘I’m the guy that shut Putin down.’
Ukraine begs to differ.
‘We invented the chip, the little chip, the computer chip.’
Another lie. Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce invented the microchip in 1958. Biden would have been 16 years old.
Biden faced a low bar after his debate
At this point, every Biden answer, interview and speech will serve as a Rorschach test of sorts to voters, who consistently tell pollsters that they’re worried about his age. And if people were looking for further signs of trouble, they were easy to find.

Yup...it must be said that The Big Guy looks better on some days...and in some situations...than in others.
