Biden Acknowledges That Presidential Debate Was a 'Bad Episode' as Five Democrats Urge Him to Step Aside from the Ticket

  • 2 months ago
President Biden gave his first interview with ABC News since last week's debate against former President Trump, where he acknowledged it was a "bad episode" but said he would continue running. Several congressional Democrats have raised concerns about President Biden's campaigning efficacy and stamina, with five openly urging him to step aside from the ticket. The interview addressed concerns after Biden's debate performance but some Democrats felt it did not go far enough to change perceptions about his fitness. His campaign sent a fundraising text dismissing calls for him to drop out as "nonsense."
