Biden sounded exhausted and out-of-breath as he sat down with Stephanopoulos in a bid to save his failing, flailing campaign. George asked the president why twelve days, including six at Camp David, wasn’t enough rest after returning from Europe.
In the first clip of the interview, Biden to @GStephanopoulos about the debate: “I was exhausted. I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and — and a bad night.”

Biden stuck to the talking point of having a “bad night,” but if you’re explaining, you’re losing, as the old saying goes. Biden tried to blame his “bad night” on Trump lying 28 times,” but Stephanopoulos nailed him on this fake talking point, pointing out that Biden himself sounded awful and confused before President Trump even said a single word.
Biden: [Trump] also lied 28 times. I couldn’t. I mean the way the debate ran. My fault, no one else’s fault—-
.@GStephanopoulos: but it seemed like you were having trouble from the first question in even before he spoke.
Biden: well, I just had a bad night pic.twitter.com/xwy8cRXkOq

If Trump lied 28 times, then why didn’t Biden “pounce” and nail him? Should have been easy, right?
Obviously, because Biden is even duller than he was when he had half a brain—the exact opposite of sharp as a tack. Just watch as he can’t even give a coherent answer on if he watched a replay of the debate afterwards.
.@GStephanopoulos: did you watch the debate afterwards?

Despite all of the events of the past week and a half, Jill isn’t dropping out at this point.
REPORTER: Are you dropping out of the race or are you completely ruling that out?
BIDEN: Completely ruling it out. …You've been wrong about everything so far. You were wrong about 2020, you were wrong about 2022…Remember the red wave? You were wrong about 2023. pic.twitter.com/j62fbFM5LI

Regardless, Biden seems to think he can still beat Trump… in 2020.
JOE BIDEN: "I'll beat Donald Trump! I'll beat him again in 2020!"

Watch the ABC interview on YouTube here:
UPDATE: More clips are trickling in.
This question was brutal:
.@GStephanopoulos: And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
Biden: I'll feel, as long as I gave it my all, and I did as good a job as I know I can do, that's what this is about. pic.twitter.com/K3Kyfv6ZgM

Stephanopoulos appears to be representing the dominant regime faction that wants Biden gone.
.@GStephanopoulos: Mr. President, I've never seen a president of 36% approval get re-elected.
Biden: Well, I don't believe that's my approval rating–that's not what our polls show. pic.twitter.com/ZbQQk3qdcY
— Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) July 6, 2024
Ouch:
.@GStephanopoulos: Do you really believe you're not behind right now.
Biden: All the pollsters I talk to tell me it's a toss-up. It's a toss up….there's only one poll I'm really far behind.

Another one:
.@GStephanopoulos: Are you sure you're being honest with yourself when you say you have the mental and physical capacity to serve another four years?
Biden: Yes, I am. Because George, last thing I want to do is not be able to meet that. pic.twitter.com/F8hln6J9k6

This was more of a humiliation exercise than anything else.
Stephanopoulos spent most of the 20-minute interview trying to plant the seed in Biden’s head that he should step aside because he’s losing the race to Trump.
“It depends on if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that,” replied Biden. pic.twitter.com/bRnvziz6t0

This mumbling answer was very bad for Biden.
After Biden mumbles about drawing crowds, George Stephanopoulos says "I don't think you want to play the crowd game. Donald Trump can draw big crowds. There's no question about that."
Biden responds "He can draw a big crowd but what does he say? Who does he have?" pic.twitter.com/ghzSIYuVz2
