Biden says during news conference he's going to 'complete the job' despite calls to step aside

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden used his highly anticipated news conference Thursday to deliver a forceful defense of his foreign and domestic policies, and batted away questions about his ability to serve another four years even as he flubbed a reference to Donald Trump in one of his first answers.
“I’m not in this for my legacy. I’m in this to complete the job I started,” Biden said as he insisted his support among the electorate was strong and he would stay in the race and would win.
Fumbles notwithstanding, the president pushed back at every suggestion that was slowing down or showing noticeable signs of decline, or that he was not in command of the job. But he was facing a growing chorus of calls from lawmakers, celebrities and other prominent Democrats to step aside from the 2024 race.
“My schedule has been full bore,” he declared. “So if I slow down and I cant get the job done, that’s a sign that I shouldn’t be doing it. But there’s no indication of that yet - none.”
Democrats are facing an intractable problem. Top donors, supporters and key lawmakers are doubtful of Biden’s abilities to carry on his reelection bid after his disastrous June 27 debate performance, but the hard-fighting 81-year-old president refuses to give up as he prepares to take on Trump in a rematch.

[@jasonostack9319]

@@arios1977 Exactly what I mean is, he seemed like an elderly man in decline. Constantly confusing people’s names. He mumbles as he trails off at the end of sentences. He runs words together and is difficult to understand. You can hate Trump and try to compare the two, but they are vastly different in their delivery. Biden appears old and declining in health. Trump seems old and not declining in health. Is Trump a crazy person? You can make a solid argument for that, but it is debatable. What is not debatable is Biden’s condition. Just watch his behavior in speeches from 4 years ago. He was still bad, but it has gotten much worse. This kind of condition doesn’t improve over time. It gets worse as you have seen with your own eyes. You can deny it all you want, but it makes you look foolish.

[@TheMusicRoomWA]

​@arios1977 Hey, no need to get so defensive. Biden's team is obviously gaslighting everybody. We know Biden is declining, we know his brain doesn't work properly anymore, and not only does the presidency require someone who can do good things for the country but running for president requires being able to communicate your message to the whole country. And this isn't something he can come back from. This is a fundamental aspect of who Joe Biden is that voters think disqualifies him from the job.

Reminds of me of when they ran Bob Dole against Obama. In that case the loss was deliberate, but sort of the same thing. Joe would do very well to simply not campaign and simply count on whatever votes he will get due to party affiliation. If you have "D" after your name, you automatically win CA, NY, OR, WA, MN, IL,, NJ, MA, and a couple others. Maybe he can send activists to do rallies in carefully selected short list of other states and actually win those and thus the election? Biden has destroyed the economy. I hope he loses big.
