Biden says he is sharp and doesn’t need notes or teleprompters

President Biden is pushing back against critics who question his cognitive abilities and ability to deliver speeches without the aid of notes or a teleprompter. In a recent interview, Biden vehemently stated that he is in great form and fully capable of addressing the American people without any external assistance.

During the interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Biden asserted that he has participated in 22 major events with overwhelming crowds and has demonstrated his command of all his faculties. He emphasized that he doesn’t rely on notes or teleprompters to communicate effectively with the public. Biden pointed out that he stood for an hour answering questions when NATO was in town, showcasing his ability to engage in unscripted interactions.

Despite his confident stance, Biden faces pressure from within his party to step aside and make way for a different candidate to challenge Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Following a widely criticized presidential debate, many are questioning Biden’s ability to effectively lead the country, particularly as concerns about his age and performance in high-pressure situations arise.

When questioned about the possibility of another lackluster performance in the next debate, Biden brushed off the concern, stating that he does not anticipate a repeat of his previous showing. He affirmed his participation in the upcoming debate in September but remained noncommittal about engaging in further debates with Trump at this time.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly been encouraging lawmakers to urge Biden to reconsider his re-election bid in private conversations, even as she publicly supports his candidacy. The Democratic Party is divided on the issue, with some members advocating for Biden to step down while others prioritize unity and security in the aftermath of a recent attempt on Trump’s life.

As the political landscape continues to shift, with calls for new leadership and a focus on national security, Biden remains resolute in his determination to prove his capabilities to the American people. Whether he can sustain his current trajectory amid mounting challenges and internal party pressures remains to be seen.
