In a last-ditch effort to contain the fallout from President Biden’s disastrous debate performance, ABC has expedited the airing of his interview with Democrat loyalist George Stephanopoulos. Originally planned for a staggered release, the network has now announced that the full interview will be broadcast on Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern, with a preview on “World News Tonight” at 6:30 p.m.
The move reeks of desperation as Team Biden scrambles to reassure a public increasingly alarmed by the president’s incoherent showing against his GOP opponent. Amid calls for his withdrawal from both media outlets and fellow Democrats, Biden faces a make-or-break moment to prove he’s mentally fit to lead.

Critics are wary of how the interview will be handled, questioning whether Stephanopoulos will continue his partisan cheerleading or finally hold Biden accountable. With the spotlight on Biden’s cognitive abilities, the stakes couldn’t be higher as the White House pushes for this unprecedented hastening of the interview’s release.
As the pressure mounts on Biden to dispel doubts about his mental acuity, all eyes will be on his performance during this crucial sit-down. Should he falter once more, it could spell disaster for his reelection prospects and leave the Democrats scrambling to salvage their chances in the upcoming election.
