President Joe Biden is set to hold a rally in Wisconsin and have his first televised interview since a disastrous debate performance last week, which could have a significant impact on his campaign. The interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News is seen as a crucial moment for the president in proving his ability to take on challenges and secure the Democratic nomination to defeat Donald Trump. Biden is also expected to speak at a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin before the interview airs as a primetime special on ABC.
Many Democrats are questioning whether Biden’s debate performance was an anomaly or if it represents a larger issue that could impact his chances against Trump. Some are calling for him to step aside and make way for another candidate, potentially Vice President Kamala Harris, to be nominated at the convention next month. Biden, however, remains defiant and determined to stay in the race, promising campaign staff that he is “in this race to the end.”
Biden’s interview on ABC is seen as a critical moment for his campaign, with allies urging him to participate in more unscripted events to reassure voters of his ability to lead. The interview is expected to cover a range of topics, especially given concerns about Biden’s communication skills in light of his recent debate performance. Trump has already criticized Stephanopoulos and called for another debate without moderators between himself and Biden. This interview may be the most important for a presidential candidate since 1992 when Bill and Hillary Clinton sat for an interview amid controversy over an extramarital affair.
