President Biden's first post-debate interview with ABC News raised concerns about his age and cognitive abilities, with his evasiveness and uncertain responses fueling calls for him to drop out of the race.
President Biden's post-debate interview with ABC News on Friday has intensified scrutiny over his candidacy, as his comments sparked questions about his mental acuity and determination to seek a second term.
Amidst a lackluster debate performance, Biden's dismissal of concerns about his age and refusal to commit to a neurological test have raised eyebrows among the public and political commentators. In the interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden suggested he was doing the "goodest job" he could, leading to further skepticism about his fitness to lead.

His uncertainty about whether he had watched his own debate performance and his reliance on divine intervention to decide whether to drop out of the race raised additional red flags. Biden stated that "if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get outta the race,’ I'd get outta the race."
This unusual response has prompted concerns that Biden may not possess the mental clarity necessary for the demanding role of president. Stephanopoulos' persistent questioning about a neurological exam was met with evasiveness from Biden, who repeatedly dodged the direct inquiries.

Biden's low approval ratings and the historical rarity of presidents with such low ratings being reelected have also cast a shadow over his campaign. Despite these concerns, Biden expressed confidence in his ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in 2020, a slip of the tongue that revealed his continued confusion about the current election cycle.
The interview has added fuel to the fire of debates within the Democratic Party, with some members calling for Biden to step down. The president's vague answers and uncertain demeanor have sown seeds of doubt among voters and raised questions about the future of his candidacy.
