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.”

Biden is the new Orange Man.
LMAO.....and the MSM ignoring it.....
“Tom Petty. The family of Tom Petty denounced Trump’s use of the song “I Won’t Back Down” at political rallies in 2020. The family sent the campaign a cease and desist letter, stating that the song was written for the “underdog” and “common man”, and that Trump did not represent either”
If he will not go out on his own, he will be forced out by the old, ancient means, The dagger or the poison cup. Washington is starting to resemble Rome at the time of the Borjas. Ceasar Borja was more like Hillary than anything else—His motto was “By any means possible”—the same as Hillary Clinton.
Biden Orange Man good?
Apparently the deathly pale corpse look from the last dance was noticed, lol
Great point. He said that only the Lord could get him to step down, and that is true. He might hear from Him sooner rather than later. Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” The Lord chooses our Kings. Daniel 2:21 He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
WHO ARE YOU JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN, WHO BELIEVES HE CONTROLS HIS OWN DESTINY? YOU POWER IS AN ILLUSION THAT IS ABOUT TO GO UP LIKE A PUFF OF SMOKE.
Honor? If they had honor, they wouldn’t have stolen the 2020 election in the first place.
