WASHINGTON — US President Joe Biden remains hopeful that a televised interview on Friday will steady his jeopardized reelection bid — but a repeat of his disastrous debate performance could be his downfall.
In the week since his debate against Donald Trump — their first head-to-head of the 2024 election cycle — 81-year-old Biden has failed to allay fears and panic among his party mates.For 90 minutes last Thursday, a rasping Biden struggled to express himself clearly, stumbling over words and losing his train of thought.A growing chorus in his party has since called for him to prove he has the energy to defeat Trump in November, and handle another four years in the White House.
'Essential' interviewBiden will face a journalist who knows the workings of political communication like no one else.Stephanopoulos worked for former Democratic president Bill Clinton during his first campaign and was one of his closest advisors during his first term in the White House.Biden, a former stutterer, will also have to win back confidence with clear and cohesive speech, as much as on substance.
