The only choice? Biden resists pressure to bow out of Trump rematch • FRANCE 24 English

There is a paradox that is often forgotten: the United States’ share of the global economy continues to grow, its tech giants rule the world, its culture reaches the whole planet, even where dictators try to put up firewalls.
So is this the best its democracy can do? In these volatile times, citizens in the US have the choice between two aging boomers, one who stands charged with trying to overturn the will of the people through insurrection and yet, who’s leading in the polls.

Interesting-I’m an independent in a swing state and I do not see economic “successes” of Biden… life is not easy atm.

[@PetreaGalina]

what's the point of a DEBATE which is a duel of mutual offences with disastrous consequences

[@paololuckyluke2854]

If the majority of Democrats ostracise Biden, he could always run as an independent candidate.

[@loganleroy8622]

That’s not how it works. It would be too late for him to get on the ballot as an independent.

[@brianawuor1824]

What's the point of a panel if it only shows one perspective?

[@AByers-ty3yh]

I would have been shocked if there was more than one perspective.

[@randstahl4869]

More one learns from current events related to the US presidential election results in one conclusion: What A Mess! Makes for increased fascination, yet entertainment at what expense?

[@XxTheAwokenOnexX]

Republicans need Biden to run, as a competent Democrat could save the party 😂

[@Edo9River]

I completely disagree. The institutions are quite strong even if the individuals are weak

[@moe_bee]

Pakman is like a televangelist, Talking politics starting to get in the way of him selling books, websites , and merch...

[@v.cryptosanon]

Hard to understand Hanley because of his cheap microphone, but great exchange of insights everyone! Interesting show 🎉

[@extraterrestrialfascisti7625]

Trump versus Biden IS the only American choice. Both came through the democratic process of to reach the nominations for president of both parties.

[@user-vu3qx7uo1z]

Joel Biden has been most helpful with US educated middle class. However a retirement age for Presidential Candidates say 68yrs.....

[@vish_globalist]

France 24 should get some Trump advocates from the Republican party. Currently the channel just seems like a glorified democrat front. I guess its too much to ask.

[@martinmupfanochiya4102]

What's the point of a so called debate when you have a lopsided panel who agree on everything. We know you're left leaning but pretend to be balanced when you conduct a "debate" otherwise it's pointless.

[@HiepNguyen-xs2pr]

should have an age limit to be the POTUS (65-67 is the retirement age so it should be the limit)

[@discosheepish2868]

Talk about over turning the will of the ppl, what the hell is happening in France these days? didnt the majority vote for a different government but now its been over turned by a deceitful allaince between other political groups? The more i hear from main stream news channels and the more i hear from 3rd parties the more i realise trust has been given way to easily.

[@halluciongen3000]

No the majority didn’t vote for RN. The majority voted for something else. RN had a plurality not the majority

[@liar-liar]

While the US is lead by Israel, NATO is lead by the US. Really unbelievable 😂😂

[@dweb]

Hey, France 24! Why does Trump deny that he supports Project 2025?

[@xr2kid]

It's not real.

[@martinhumble]

The US is a proud nation believing they actually are a real democracy

[@45jacky77]

We are a republic. Mob rule leads to chaos. Example france

[@loganleroy8622]

But we aren’t a democracy, we’re a republic

[@martinhumble]

@@loganleroy8622 You're a democracy, please stop the nonsense. Even though you are a mediocre one because of right wing politics

[@francisbacon7738]

Biden has been a brilliant President, the way the American economy has recovered from COVID is the envy of the world. This has not happened by accident but because of the many groundbreaking legislation that Biden got passed. Biden also led the way in supporting Ukraine against Putin.

[@michaelwilson9921]

America decides? Most Americans want neither Trump nor Biden. They want someone else. However, due to our two party Duopoly rule, Americans do not get to decide!

[@45jacky77]

Oh please the only people who says that are people who voted in the vegetable in the first place. Majority of Americans and the world want the true president back in office

[@loganleroy8622]

Well the Republicans did try to have someone other than Trump, but Trump won fair and square. So he actually has the mandate to go ahead and run for the presidency

[@meowenstein]

Looking forward to the return of President Trump!

[@mlynto]

TRUMP 2024, save our democracy.

[@BrandyHeng007]

Remove Brandon under 25th Amendment, incapacity clause.

[@catherinemacaskill1421]

Trump lackeys wanted to remove him using the same tactics. His project 2025 screed and his frequent mentions in the Epstein files mean that he definitely should never be allowed near the Oval office ever again. Today he's meeting with his fellow Putin stooge, Orban. Fake Christians claiming to be Christian nationalists. The three right wing monsters: Trump, Orban and their master Putin.

[@45jacky77]

Need 2/3 of both houses to invoke and we Republicans will not take the down the man that will help us sweep all 3 branches of Government in November.

[@BrandyHeng007]

House Speaker said he supports the idea of removing Brandon using the 25th Amendment, that such a move is "appropriate" as "desperate times call for desperate measures."

[@45jacky77]

@BrandyHeng007 house speaker is a rino that will be replaced by the next congress, hopefully by Jim Jordan

[@BrandyHeng007]

Rino 🤣

[@IbnBahtuta]

His God complex is screaming to the people, "only I can save you, come to me". Oh dear.
