George Stephanopoulos Caught Expressing Doubt About Biden on Camera after Interview
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos recently found himself in a moment of controversy when he was asked by a passerby on the streets of New York whether President Joe Biden should withdraw from his 2024 campaign. Stephanopoulos, who had recently interviewed Biden in an attempt to salvage the president’s image after a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, responded, “I don’t think he can serve four more years.”
The passerby seemed taken aback by Stephanopoulos’ bold statement, responding, “You don’t think he can serve four more years? Alright. That’s an answer.”
After the encounter, Stephanopoulos admitted to Puck News that he should not have impulsively responded to the passerby’s question, acknowledging that his remarks were a personal opinion and not reflective of ABC News’ stance on the matter.
During the interview with Biden, Stephanopoulos raised concerns about the president’s mental acuity, a topic that has been gaining traction within Democratic circles. He questioned Biden about potential lapses in recent months and whether he felt he was becoming more frail.
Biden, in his characteristic style, brushed off suggestions of mental decline, asserting, “Can I run the 100 in 10 flat? No. But I’m still in good shape.” He adamantly rejected the idea of his physical and mental capacities deteriorating.
These remarks from Stephanopoulos and Biden shed light on the growing uncertainty surrounding Biden’s ability to continue serving as president for another term. As calls from within his own party for him to step down gain momentum, the question of Biden’s future in politics remains up in the air.
Whether Biden will push through with his campaign for the 2024 presidential election or choose to step back is a decision that only time will reveal. As the political landscape continues to shift and evolve, the fate of Biden’s political career hangs in the balance, awaiting a definitive resolution.
As the nation watches with bated breath, the outcome of this dilemma will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications on the future of American politics. Will Biden defy the odds and prove his critics wrong, or will he succumb to the mounting pressure and bow out of the race? Only time will tell.
