After his poor performance during the June 27 presidential debate, Biden sat down for a controversial interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. He acknowledged that he had a “bad episode” that night but insisted it did not indicate anything more serious.
Unfortunately, his primetime appearance did little to quell concerns about his candidacy. On Wednesday, George Clooney, who co-hosted a $28 million fundraiser for Biden in June, penned an op-ed for The New York Times in which he stated that the Democrats need a new candidate.
“It's devastating to say, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago… was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all saw at the debate,” Clooney wrote. “We are not going to win in November with this president.”
Hours later, Vermont Sen. Peter Welch became the first Democrat in the Senate to call for Biden to withdraw from the race.
Biden, however, has insisted he's not going anywhere. In a letter he sent to Democrats on Capitol Hill earlier this week, the president wrote that “despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am determined to stay in this race, to see this race through to the end, and to defeat Donald Trump.”
Thursday's press conference comes as Biden wraps up a NATO summit in Washington, D.C. Another high-profile TV interview follows: POTUS is expected to sit down with him NBC Nightly News host Lester Holt for a primetime special on Monday, July 15 (NBC, 9/8 p.m.).
