NEW YORK. – US President Joe Biden is seriously considering whether he can recover from his “disastrous” debate performance, the New York Times reported yesterday, citing a “key ally” who wished to remain anonymous.
Biden struggled through last week’s exchange with challenger Donald Trump, hosted by CNN. The Times described his performance as “devastating,” even though Biden’s campaign had arranged the circumstances to be maximally favourable.
“He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place” by the end of the Independence Day weekend, the unnamed ally told the newspaper.
While the unnamed source insisted that Biden is “still deeply in the fight for re-election,” the 81-year-old is reportedly aware that the next several days must go well if he wishes to “salvage” his candidacy.
Biden is scheduled to record an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos – a Clinton White House veteran – tomorrow and take part in campaign events in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates told the NYT that the anonymous ally’s claim was “absolutely false” . – New York Times
