The media opportunity comes amid a growing number of Democrats calling on him to stand aside as the party’s candidate in the November 5 election.
I remember leaving a recent announcement from US President Joe Biden asking myself the same questions I’d been asking for months. Can he really do another four years in this job? Is he actually going to make it to election day? Why don’t Democrats have a Plan B?Sure, his scripted remarks started steadily enough, but it didn’t take long before his voice became so soft that it sounded, in parts, like he was mumbling.
And from my vantage point in the middle of the room with other selected members of the press, there was no passion in his delivery: just the tones of a “well-meaning elderly gentleman” that many Americans fear is no longer up to the task of being their commander-in-chief.Like many people his age, Biden has often experienced times in which he has mangled a sentence or made the occasional gaffe.
