President Biden indicated in an interview with ABC News Friday that he would be at peace if he lost to former President Trump "as long as I gave it my all."
Why it matters: Biden is under growing pressure to step aside as the Democratic nominee in the wake of his disastrous debate performance last week, especially given the stakes of a potential Trump second term.
Many Democrats believe Biden has been an excellent president — but that his refusal to give up power at his advantaged age could risk throwing the country into turmoil after November's election.
His interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, broadcast Friday evening, is unlikely to quell those concerns. What they're saying: "If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden.
"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," the president responded.
At other points in the interview, Biden repeatedly denied that his approval rating could be as low as 36%, that elected Democrats want him to step aside, and that the presidential race is anything but a "toss-up."

Hang in there dementia joe give it the good ol college try
Yes, this interview couldn't have gone any better for us.
Dr. Jill is not going to go quietly.
Meanwhile the whole party of Stalin is getting more and more livid that he won’t just fade into the night and let someone else take his place. This is going to explode fast.
Yup—we are in the Goldilocks zone.
The interview kept him badly injured but still on the field as the Super Bowl quarterback.
The coaches are on the sidelines hotly debating what to do next.
The fans can hear the expletives all the way to the upper deck.
:-)
The DNC could have opened their primaries so someone would have been able to challenge Biden and replace him. But he won the nomination. So no one can stop him now. They can be angry about it. Too bad.
Think come Monday somebody is going to give the Biden’s the exit ticket..
You can't replace him if he's a proven winner.
Don’t believe it
I don’t
There ya go - the dark side. The DUmp has been entertaining. If Brandon EVER quits, you’ll be able to hear the hearts breaking. They’re all in.
He is not a “proven winner”. Rigged primary followed by a rigged election does not make you a winner.
Joe has been a super duppa incredible president up until 8 days ago.
I believe it’s time now for him to quit and pass on that leadership to a younger, more incompetent future leader to lead as opposed to follow which followers tend to follow the person up front which is leading those followers behind her.
*Dr. Jill is not going to go quietly.*
Kamala’s scared.
I’m gonna be president or die trying!
I hope he is able to find rest while in pursuit of that state of peace.
As will we all be, Roomba Robinette
You can do it Joe.
