President Joe Biden, who is facing pressure to resign due to poor performance in TV debates, reportedly discussed the possibility of giving up his candidacy depending on public opinion trends in the coming days. However, the White House refuted this claim as a complete lie.
The New York Times reported that President Biden told a key aide that if he cannot convince the public that he is capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency in the next few days, he may not be able to pursue his candidacy.
Nevertheless, Biden reportedly shows strong determination for re-election and understands the importance of putting on a good performance in the upcoming in-depth interview with ABC News and weekend campaign events.
An aide who communicated with President Biden stated that if the president does not improve his performance, similar to the TV debate last week, they are aware they will be in a different situation.
The New York Times interpreted the conversation between President Biden and his aide as the first sign indicating that President Biden is seriously contemplating how to overcome his defeat in the TV debate.
In response to The New York Times report, Andrew Bates, a White House deputy spokesperson, dismissed it as completely false and suggested that if The New York Times had given them 7 more minutes, they would have rebutted the claim.
