    In his first television interview since the CNN debate with Donald Trump, President Joe Biden dismissed his poor performance as a "bad episode" and took full responsibility for it.
    Biden spoke with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday after an energetic rally with Democratic supporters, during which he affirmed his commitment to staying in the race.
    Stephanopoulos immediately addressed last Thursday's debate, which had caused concern among Democratic lawmakers and pundits regarding Biden's campaign capabilities and potential for another term.
    "Let's start with the debate. You and your team have said you had a bad night," Stephanopoulos began.
    "Sure did," Biden replied.
    Stephanopoulos then referenced a statement from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had been instrumental in passing some of Biden's key policies during his first two years in office.
    "But your friend Nancy Pelosi actually framed the question that I think is on the minds of millions of Americans: Was this a bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition?" Stephanopoulos asked.
    "It was a bad episode," Biden responded. "No indication of any serious condition. I was exhausted. I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and -- and a bad night."

    Biden had traveled internationally in mid-June to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France. He spent nearly a week at Camp David afterward, preparing for the debate with his close advisers.
    Stephanopoulos pressed further, "Why wasn't that enough rest time, enough recovery time?"
    "Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible," Biden explained. "Matter of fact, the docs with me. I asked if they did a COVID test because they're trying to figure out what was wrong. They did a test to see whether or not I had some infection, you know, a virus. I didn't. I just had a really bad cold."
    "Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?" Stephanopoulos asked.
    "I don't think I did, no," Biden said.
    When asked if he knew how poorly the debate was going while on stage, Biden admitted, "Yeah, look. The whole way I prepared, nobody's fault but mine. I prepared as I usually would, sitting down as I did with foreign leaders or the National Security Council for detailed discussions. And I realized partway through that the approach was wrong. But the fact is, what I looked at is that he also lied 28 times. The way the debate went, it was my fault, nobody else's fault."
    "But it seemed like you were having trouble from the first question in, even before he spoke?" Stephanopoulos inquired.
    "Well, I just had a bad night," Biden concluded.
    ABC News offered a similar interview opportunity to Trump, but he declined.

    stephanopoulos was not good. If that was a good interview then someone explain to me why there was no follow up when Biden said he wasn’t sure if he watched the debate? Any good interviewer would have made him explain that.
    Also, why did he not ask about specific “points” Biden made in the debate? Why not ask what
    Biden meant by “women are raping their sisters” when he was asked a question about abortion.
    In fact why didn’t stephanopoulos play clips of the debate like normal interviews? If it is actually true that his family has kept him from watching the debate then it might have been eye opening for Biden to see himself like that.
    This could have been a hall of fame interview and stephanopoulos didn’t deliver. How exactly was that a good interview? Ok I’m done venting

    Enjoyed your opinion. Two things to mention. For most of the American people it IS a political issue. It's the rise in prices for American families. It's the rise in gas prices in my area from $1.89 a gallon in early 2021 to $3.19 when I put gas in my car last week. We were self-sufficient in energy and Biden destroyed that. Being a life-long Texan and seeing the border crisis on the news everyday, it's horrible. It's the fact that the American taxpayer is having to foot the bill for billions of dollars in college loans because Biden is pandering to young voters. It's the foreign policy and military blunders. It's the fact that now we see there a huge question in who is actually running the country, especially if it's outside the hours of 10 and 4 and probably mostly during those hours also. Second thing and it's about Harris. When she was running for President she had to drop out of the race in December 2019 because she was only polling at 3%. Who would ever think it was a logical and sound decision to appoint her to the second highest position in the land with that kind of unfavorability? Well, that decision has now added chaos in this campaign season for the Dems.

      Saw a poll where if Harris is the Presidential nominee, she would lose to Trump by at least 12 points (Biden would lose by at least 5 points). Harris as a VP was a serious mistake. I would say that it is not Biden's fault re the cost of living because it is the corporations that do the pricing of goods and services. Perhaps Biden should put in price controls like Nixon did in 1971. Harris as the nominee will be a disaster for the Democrats all the way down the ballot. One of the younger Democratic governors can be a more energetic and persuasive nominee. The Democrats need a nominee who can overwhelmingly expose the horrific fascist Project 2025 being implemented if Trump wins. Saw a YOU TUBE video where 41% of Germans polled said Trump would be a threat to world peace = but the Germans said that Putin and China's leader would harm world peace at only 7% in the polling. Amazing that the Germans are smarter than us Americans.

    I agree that GS did a good job with the interview for all the reasons you mentioned.
    BUT....
    The questions--the whole interview was damage control/concerned with the electoral prospects of the Democratic Party as a whole. The problem IS that Biden is in no condition to be weilding the power that he has. We need interviews with cabinet officials and VP Harris to ask why they aren't invoking the 25th amendment for the good and safety of this country--and, by extension, the ENTIRE WORLD.

The bigger question is that he is just missing the import of the moment and missing on communication strategy, he had change course in this interview and avoid avoiding the question and be truthful. The polls show him behind, he needs to admit it and provide a plan to change it, not lie about it. He has slipped, and is frail, he needed to admit it and say that even in his fraility, he is better than Trump and he is capable still, and Kamala is good and available and he will step aside if needed. His communication team failed on strategy. They decided on a strategy of gaslighting and running out the clock.
