President Joe Biden’s first interview after his disastrous debate showing was a preview of what is likely to happen if Democratic leaders go to the White House to persuade him to stand down in the 2024 election.
“If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race. But the Lord Almighty’s not coming down,” Biden said.
That doesn’t bode well for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), or even former President Barack Obama.
George Stephanopoulos conducted the interview for ABC News like it was an intervention. The former Clinton White House communications director almost pleaded with Biden to consider whether he was misjudging his ability to win the race and his fitness to continue to serve in office until age 86.
