I truly do not understand this. Biden had one bad debate but has been a great president, and your question is whether he should be the nominee. Trump also had a bad debate performance, was an awful president, and is a morally corrupt human being, yet I do not hear pundits lamenting on whether HE should be the nominee. Perhaps it would be more democracy-saving for you to focus attention on that distinction!
@@Matt-qy7ls he is and, at the point he ceases to be, there are provisions in place for the VP to assume responsibilities. it's not a problem. this country has been there before. it happens. the alternative would be far, FAR worse.
Did you actually watch the debate in its entirety? I am not being surreptitious with this question. I am asking because I had only seen a few choice snippets and thought this was typical Biden having a bad moment. However, I went back in and watched the entire debate. He was having trouble stringing together sentences. He was conflating topics or getting lost in one and trailing off. I am a registered Democrat. I voted for Biden in 2020. I will vote for him again in 2024 as the alternative is unthinkable.... but we deserve a fully coherent, clear-minded president. We also need a candidate who can meet the moment, as that moment is critical. We can NOT have a candidate that people settle on as a lesser of two evils. This election is far too important, particularly now that the SCOTUS has essentially given the president unfettered immunity with their being the sole arbiter of what is considered "official business". We need a candidate that can win. I don't believe Biden is that candidate at this point.
@@ReviewBoard-uy5nv Like your "Not my president protests? I don't remember MAGA blocking roads to Biden rallies I don't remember MAGA throwing bricks at people trying to attend Biden rallies DNC did both those in 2015 2016
Voting for Joe Biden is an attempt to give a fourth term to Obama and the Cabal. Joe Biden is a puppet controlled by others. He's having a major malfunction.
What do mean if he should still be the Nomani the question is why is Trump still able too run after all he has done ro this country and ready to do he should be up under the jail house the key thrown away.
@@PD-yd3fr trump is, by far, the *worst* . . . he's a criminal, convicted felon, habitual liar, adjudicated rapist, legally liable for defamation and fraud, and that's just for starters . . .
@PD-yd3fr, Let's be clear, the Democrats Party is the only party that gives a 💩about you, as in all of us! The GOP serves 2 things, their own personal pockets from the most Elites/corporations out there! They GOP have NEVER voted for a minimum wage increase (EVER), they are against Unions, they are against Healthcare for all Citizens, they voted against decreasing the price on pharmaceuticals, and it goes on and on! You need to do more Fact Checking instead of listening and repeating propaganda, all our lives depend on it.🕊
@@BillySBCI am firmly never Trump. Never in history have sooo many former high level appointees said the president they served, Trump, is UNFIT for the Office of the Presidency.
I am a Democrat and I feel the worst thing we can do is push Biden out. POlls aren't necessarily indicating who will win. HIlary had great polling and we know how that turned out.
All media outlets, including this one needs to stop focusing so much on Biden's performance and point out the many lies that Trump stated during that 90 minute debate, which is the real danger. Our vote is the choice between democracy and dictatorship. I expected more from this source.😥
AGREE! This younger generation of political campaign "pundits/experts" need to get their big boy/girl pants on, roll their sleeves up and GET TO WORK supporting our President and his campaign! STOP all the negative, casting doubt rhetoric! We need strong messaging that shares Truth & Facts about this administration's successes & plans for tax changes vs. Trump's so the wealthiest pay their share, which also helps our deficit, border enhancements, less inflation, Social Security enhancements, SCOTUS changes, etc. Simple, effective ads showing infrastructure/jobs (e.g. high speed rail), new Wisconsin employer, Green energy) efforts. ALL elected officials & those running for office MUST repeat in lockstep. This is how the Repubs convince citizens to believe/vote for their lies-- they are all in lockstep & consistently repeat the same lies so people believe it is all true. Dems have NEVER done this & they have Truth & Facts to share. Informed Citizens want to support our Democracy & an honest, widely respected president who has shown his integrity & patriotism. Trump is despised by our allied world leaders & a pawn for Putin & others who will bribe him as before. Additionally, we need to encourage Joe that he must use the power just given by the SCOTUS to save our nation & Us from the greatest threat we have to our democracy & freedoms & see that DJT is not allowed to evade justice & be prevented from becoming a dictator. Spend your energy supporting & protecting our freedoms & Democratic leader(s), rather than causing more fractions in the only group who can/wants to preserve our sovereignty & freedoms.
Katie, you and your colleagues who call yourselves "journalists" really REALLY need to be talking about the damage of the SCOTUS decision and how utterly horrible Trump is, rather than spending your time and energy sowing discord among the Democrats. You are part of the problem. Stop normalizing Trump and acting like he's a competent candidate!!
Yeah. Just ignore everything that has happened in the debate. Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears. Biden has no chance of winning now. He was losing BEFORE the debate.
She’s not doing that, she’s stating the reality of the situation. Biden is not going to win just with us Dems, he needs independents and some republicans, he DOESN’T have enough of those right now. The problem is that a lot of them are going to sit this one out and that only helps Trump. We can behave like MAGA and live in an alternate reality or we can see and accept what’s in front on us and do something about it.
I respect Kamala Harris but honestly, I want the first female POTUS to be elected not anointed. That said, if she becomes the nominee, I would vote for her instead of Trump. At this point, I would vote for anyone other than him.
We cannot have an Executive Branch (President) with no checks and balances, whether it's Trump or anyone else. SCOTUS is now firmly on the right, and will be for decades. Congress shifts back and forth. If this ruling doesn't energize people to vote for Biden, or whoever ends up the Democratic nominee, then nothing will. This election has always been about undecided voters and the fight needs to be about the future of our country, not an individual candidate.
Hello. Our president has dimentia. Cognitive decline freezing during community. Tripping falling down muscular difficulty. Hello his own sister revealed this 2018. Dear god forgive his wife n family for pushing him and I am fighting lymphoma. Or if I was not battling cancer. I seriously would MOVE out of this country!! I was embarrassed. And frightened during that debate On a human level the president cud voluntarily walk away right now with our sympathy. With his legacy and good record in tack I mean DO WHAT is right for the country. DO what is the right thing for him as a human being. Dear God. Stop the BS. It’s time to step down! N I pray for us all I pray for this man he needs help !!🙏🏻♥️💙✝️☮️
I agree with you! people need to wake up. Biden is done! it doesn't matter that he's a DEM. He just need to retire and enjoy his life whatever little he has left. And Jill needs to just shut up and stop pushing her senile husband.
It’s not just “one bad night”, no amount of spin is going to change what everyone saw. Not only could he not defend his position, he couldn’t string a basic sentence together. I love Biden, but he is not as healthy as he was 4 years ago and he’s going to get worse if we keep him in for another 4 years. People are genuinely terrified. I haven’t talked to a single person who thinks he should still be in the race. He needs to step down and we need to wake up and pressure him to do so. Polling shows they will do better, especially with the name recognition once they are announced to be running for president.
I feel the same. For the sake of the country he should step aside. It's too important. He could leave with dignity and be proud of his accomplishments.
all these media folks don't spend millions on looking young, only to risk being made to look old by standing with biden, just for the sake of democracy
Imagine if the situation were reversed. Imagine how the Republicans would circle the wagons and prop up their candidate, not help the opposition help tear him down.
@@justrosy5 the difference is that he's the incumbent. meaning, he's actually been doing the job for the past several years now and, he's still doing it . . . he's in it right now, and kicking ass and taking names. and doing it ethically, with integrity and with heart and dedication to the Constitution, law, and American norms and values. his administration is effective and successful and should continue, for the benefit of the country, and its people. and its allies. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. and he ain't broke. he can die in office; he wouldn't be the first to do so in service to his country and, won't be the last. there are provisions in place for a president who can no longer serve while in office.
@@ubub932Well said and considered. I do believe Biden is doing the job. Honestly I can’t imagine a Dem candidate that would cause me to vote for Trump. The stakes of disruption and destruction are just to high.
Katie, I wish you would focus in on uniting everybody instead of putting on these reporters who have no real facts and aren’t reporting on Donald Trump‘s issues. Why aren’t we seeing full page ads about Trump his convictions, his rapes, his drug abuse, etc., etc., and calling for him to step down. He’s the threat to democracy, please stop putting these people on your channel.
1 those convictions were overturned by the USSC 2 He has never been convicted of rape or drug use 3 Your side taking names off ballots Your side telling you who will run for president
Every Democrat has to buck up and support Biden, and stop crying and acting like chicken little. Folks, it’s clear. Do you want to live under a dictatorship, or keep enjoying the freedom you now have. Duh!
Its a Really tough Time for The County & ( The World Really ) But I Think Biden , His Family , & Advisors Will Do What is the Best For The Country ! ! He May Step Aside If Not , Just MoreWork & Dedication For The Rest Of Democracy Seekers ! ! !
Yes, already. Biden won the primaries, he has been an excellent president, and as the incumbent, has a better chance to win rather than someone new. So yes, he should remain the nominee.
@@barbaras631 The Democrat Senate candidate is at 54% vs his opponent and Biden is at 46% That means 8% of voters in Pennsylvania would vote to a new Democrat candidate if Biden is replaced.
We learned during Trump's trial that he pays to manipulate polling data. I don't think we can really trust the polls. Also Trump pays to suppress stories unflattering to him.
AND how unfit, unhinged & mentally unfit DJT is for that OfficeMax evidenced last time he was there & much younger! Evil intent with No guard rails is MUCH worse than a well-intentioned leader who consults with his competent cabinet members & Congressional leaders regarding policy decisions.
This is ridiculous, Katie. We need to be standing behind Biden all the way. Stop talking about replacing him because you are not doing this country anymore favors right now. Biden is our candidate and you need to move on.
But if Biden steps down then we install Bernie Sanders as the Candidate, not any of these lesser known people, Bernie appeals to a certain number or Republicans as well.
@@BeatTrump Sure you can, Bernie doesn't show any signs of being incapable, but I do think they'll choose a much younger candidate if it comes to that, probably Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsome.
I'm going to need you all to stop asking for Biden to drop out. He got to 270 in 2020. We had primaries where all the folks who wanted someone else could cast a vote and you just didn't have the numbers sorry. We need Unity to beat maga.
Biden is not the same as he was in 2020. We see how he seems now. How will he be in 6 months? In a year? It's a matter of having a fit and sharp president capable of beating trump.
@@Matt-qy7ls that's not an issue because there are provisions for a replacement. it's what happened when Lincoln and JFK were shot. Biden should continue and whup Trump's ass again.
@@Matt-qy7ls he's well enough to continue, and should. he's done great things and continues to do them. there are provisions for substitutions, namely the VP so, not a problem; not a concern; the executive just keeps going, regardless .
@@Matt-qy7ls This is correct The difference is even more clear why he should win. Trump is a felon now With supreme court granted immunity to do even more harm in a second term. and Biden can point to all of his first term accomplishment's Energy and Infrastructure investment needed to do what steve jobs called Moon shots. We are going to need those to beat climate change. . Stability in NATO and Ukraine aid, The gaza crisis, Did you know he sent our Navy to build a pier that is delivering 400 tons of Humanitarian aid directly to those people who need it. Also formed a collation in the red sea to keep the shipping lane open from Houthi rebels in Yemen so our grocery stores don't run out of toilet paper and other essentials. He does not have dementia he has a speech disability he's had since childhood and despite that has managed to win A senate race, a vice presidential race and a presidential race. You are scared he will die in office so what, Did the nation fall when Lincoln died NO did it fall when Kennedy died NO, deaths happen sometimes, we carry on.
Biden can still win this election ... We're only in the second quarter , down behind by 7 points , but we still have the 3rd & 4th quarter ... Don't underestimate Biden , he'll come back much stronger in the next debate , like he did in his state of the union address 💪💪💪
I agree with all these comments. Biden is a good man that has done a lot for the USA. These conversations do nothing to help stop Trump. Everyone talking about this needs to get a reality check and fight with all they have to get Biden re-elected. Disappointed in the commentators that are talking about this.
His cognitive abilities are not there, he looked old and lost against Trump in that debate and it's not the first time he's demonstrated his cognitive decline. We don't want to lose in November, we need to run Bernie Sanders as our candidate. We love Joe, but he can't do the job anymore, I'm sorry.
Did he really say the question is not can he rad a teleprompter, but can he beat Trump. How 'bout can he run this country right NOW.. like.. who's minding the store right now?? We'd really like to know.
I'm irritated by the title of this piece, so I don't feel like watching it. Biden IS the nominee. There is such a bucket-full of issues that should make you ask the question "should Trump still be the nominee?" Where is that clip? Biden's strike against himself is that he can't handle 1.5 minute under-pressure Q&A. But he CAN preside over a country during troubling times, he can be a comfort, he can make things happen for the American people, he can delegate to his diverse and brilliant cabinet, and he can tell the truth.
My 2 cents! Biden wants to stay in for all the funding and delegate issues, I will support. I realize he should nominate Kamala Harris as his presidential pick to replace him if he wants to drop out for the smoothest transition but that is where the problem begins for me. She has the lower polling numbers than Biden and was first to drop out with the lowest numbers voted when running in 2020. I have little faith many are ready to vote for a woman for president sadly! She has come far but is not my first pick to beat Trump.
And the Democratic Party better get their crap together and start fighting and come to the table with a better strategy. So far it has been lack luster. Please step down Schumer time for a younger vibrant fighter!
I am unsubscribing to each channel who asks this question about Biden, while ignoring the convicted felon running on the Republican ticket. You all are doing a disservice to democracy.
No, I think the answer is to stay on and voice our disappointment with them putting forth this point of view. If we leave, our stance will not be represented. All over I'm seeing content like this and comments from normal people pushing back and it's very reassuring to me and should send a message to those making these videos.
@@linguaphile42 I just can’t. The United States is on its deathbed & I think anyone asking about Biden stepping down is a clickbait whore. I’m done with those who help trump.
Obviously, the convicted felon is not the choice. You need to be realistic and face this valid question whether Biden is healthy enough for another 4 years and if he is capable of beating trump because of that question.
@@Matt-qy7ls Biden has a quality VP who will replace him, if he can’t complete the 4 years. It’s literally WHY we have a Vice President! Joe is the only one able to beat traitor trump. Suck it up & be happy Kamala is a quality candidate.
I would invite you to have Professor Allan Lichtman, presidential historian, on to discuss his thoughts on the election. He is the author of The 13 Keys to the White House and will give a good reason for keeping Biden as the candidate.
The problem ibeing missed is that if people don’t feel like they don’t have a good choice for President, they will not vote. The Trumpsters will vote, though. Prior to the debate, many of us believed Biden was a good option but we have lost confidence in him.
If a convicted felon could run for president then someone who had a bad debate could run too. Also, you’re right about the court ruling and Nixon. If the court’s ruling had happened back when Nixon was president, he could have claimed it as an official act and gotten away with it. They haven’t even provided what’s considered official and unofficial.
Great interview and hopefully you were given the opportunity to have one with President Biden 🩵 I think is too late for replacements now and I think will cause great chaos and no one need it at this point. Is anyone worthy to be a Democratic candidate instead of Mr. Biden? The only concern I have is to have Trump as a President, the rest is just small challenges. Thank you
Biden could easily disprove his critics by holding a town hall meeting on a major network. It needs to be done and soon so that we can move forward if necessary. Biden has been a great President but too much is at stake in this election to move forward with such uncertainty.
and yet you don't think that independent voters are asking themselves if they can vote for the guy that spouted lie after lie in the debate? This was not a good debate for Biden but Trump didn't do any better better yelling out incoherent statements littered with lies, and Trump's statements as he intended them.
It's not a total call for him to step down. It's talking about what to look for in the next couple of days, and Biden's probable response to the NYT and their shenanigans.
Why? Because she knows a senior citizen in decline when she sees it? Joe Biden and his team have done a great job the last 4 years, but time has caught up to Joe Biden, he has a good heart and he loves his country be he is in obvious cognitive decline. We need to run Bernie Sanders and get Trump put away in the history books for good.
Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear or Gavin Newsom with Gretchen Whitmer as VP is the way to go. Barnstorming around the country, they would nail it. At this point they would have to hit the ground running, but I think they could do it.
AND, if our elections were truly Democratic, and not decided by the Electoral College, Hillary Would have been our 45th president by a Landslide! These pundits should be helping us overturn the bogus Electoral College involvement and then Every legal vote will actually count in deciding who wins. 1 vote for all & the majority elects our leaders, not just a handful of states' residents.
SCOTUS specifically absolved/approved use of Seal Team 6, so imprisoning a convicted felon & direct threat to our Democratic Republic, national security & sovereignty would definitely be an official act of protection against a 'clear & present danger'.
@@karencolclasure1985 If you're a Dem, could you please call that party and pass the thoughts on to them? I'm an Indie, myself, but anyway, if you could please do that, you could help save our Democracy!
Yes he can be nominee doesn’t mean he’s going to be nominated!!! We can choose not to vote for a senile senior!!!! It’s his right to stay our rights to deny him presidency
Kamala Harris should step down as VP on the Democratic ticket. President Biden must be the next president for democracy & our country to survive. 🇺🇲🗽👍🏽🇺🇸🙏
Agree a much stronger VP would be Very helpful. (And I voted for Hillary as she had the skills & ability to lead us.) But, optics would be a problem unless the VP truly wished to exit & made that known to all to diffuse backlash. Not likely to happen, but a Great thought!
First off, selecting Supreme Court justices is a core function of the Executive Branch. According to the Supreme Court, authorities are prohibited from inquiring into the actions of a president exercising his core responsibilities. Obviously, if selecting justices for the Supreme Court is a core function, deselecting sitting justices is an implied core function. According to the Supreme Court, The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he will now be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Accordingly, he Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate six Supreme Court Justices. Immune. Kismet!
Nancy read my mind- Nancy Pelosi Says It's Fair To Ask Questions About Joe Biden's Health But the former House speaker said the same "legitimate" questions about mental acuity should also be asked about former President Donald Trump.
So Very Disappointed in this episode AND Negative Impact such rhetoric has on voters/those seeking helpful information to decide between supporting our Democratic Republic, free elections & nation's security & sovereignty vs. those who seek to undermine it all! Divided we WILL Fall, but United we Will win!
Allan Lichtman, the predictor of election outcomes, said keep Biden if you want to win. The Project 2025 horror show and Extreme Court Unjustice drama isn't good for Trump, at least with the general population.
I’m not a Trump fan, but I disagree with this analysis by saying that Trump could do just about anything. We have always given the President of the US the implied immunity for official acts, the Court only clarified what we always have done. But even more importantly this decision makes it difficult for a president to go after past presidents and this is extremely important for democracy and the Court got this right. It’s much much more than Trump.
Stop it! Biden can schedule his work like Trump did “executive time” which was clearly nap time and tv time in middle of day. Biden can work during day and delegate evenings. I’m cool with Biden.
He should never have been the nominee. I may be biased with having had parents recently in their 80s. The presidency is usually so aging on a president, neither man should be a nominee. But, the Supreme Court telling Trump he can do no wrong, makes me consider if Canada or Costa Rica will take me!
Absolutely! President Biden should continue as the Democratic nominee for the 2025 presidency. If anyone else were to run, they wouldn’t have a chance. President Biden has done more for the people than any other recent president.
Stand by the man who has been working for all of us and done so much. stop trying to bail on supporting the President. Polling is stupid. Fair weather dems are so weak.. The stakes were always high. Ugh
To everyone defending Biden staying, I get it he’s a good man and has been a good president. The problem is that he was losing to Trump before the debate, by a small margin but still losing. If our democracy is at stakes, we need to be pragmatic and act upon that. Joe Biden is not going to lose in a landslide but currently the way things are Joe Biden is going to lose.
Whether we have Biden or replace him we must be have a candidate who has seen clearly that we need to expand the membership of the Supreme Court and we need term limits on judges. We need to be rid of the Electoral College. And we need all this so that we can reclaim the administrative state and guarantee the desires of the majority of Americans are implemented. Then we need to address climate change and the great gap between the richest and poorest in this country to give the majority hope for the future. If that's the priority then we will vote for the party that will guarantee this.
Katie, you're a national treasure!! I really appreciate the great job Biden has done, but feel like he has to step down for the sake of our nation. I would love to see you interview Biden!! ❤
what about what is constitutional is based on the laws of the land the time of office. trump took an oath.to the consituition he didn't follow, those were private, intended acts.
