ABC's Stephanopoulos Raises Alarm on Presidential Election Amid Biden's Debate Woes

George Stephanopoulos of ABC News has issued yet another warning about the upcoming presidential election, expressing concerns about the nation facing a "ultimate stress test."

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos has once again raised concerns about the upcoming presidential election, arguing that the country is undergoing a "ultimate stress test" due to President Biden's recent debate performance and questions about his viability for office.

Stephanopoulos's latest remarks come amidst growing scrutiny of Biden's fitness for office following his widely criticized performance in last week's Democratic primary debate. During the debate, Biden repeatedly lost his train of thought mid-sentence, struggled to answer questions, and appeared frail, sparking concerns about his mental acuity.

In the wake of the debate, a growing number of Democrats, newspapers, and media pundits have publicly called for Biden to step aside from the 2024 presidential campaign. However, the White House has defended Biden's performance, calling it a "bad night," and the president himself has insisted that he will remain in the race.

ABC News has been granted an exclusive interview with Biden, which is scheduled to air on Friday. The interview is widely seen as an opportunity for Biden to demonstrate his fitness for office, but the taped format of the interview has raised questions about how it will be handled by ABC News.

Critics have pointed to ABC News's past handling of controversial interviews, such as the 2018 interview with former FBI Director James Comey, in which the network was accused of heavily editing the footage to present a more favorable portrayal of Comey. Concerns have been raised that ABC News may employ similar tactics in the Biden interview to protect the president.

ABC News has not responded to inquiries regarding whether it will commit to airing all moments from the Biden interview that could shed light on his mental fitness. The network has also not disclosed the length of the interview or provided assurances that the full, raw footage will be made available to the public.

The choice of Stephanopoulos as the interviewer has also been met with skepticism, as he has been criticized for his handling of previous interviews with controversial figures, such as former President Donald Trump. Critics argue that Stephanopoulos's past bias could influence the tone and direction of the Biden interview.

The interview is expected to be a key moment in Biden's campaign, as he attempts to reassure jittery Democrats and salvage his chances at re-election. The outcome of the interview could have a significant impact on the political landscape and the direction of the upcoming presidential election.
