It's like Granpa that insist on driving while everyone's afraid in the car.
You win for best comment.
Great analogy.
Only, was it really ever him driving? Or the people that bought him?
And democrats scream at the people who warned them
You’re right. Maybe, 🤔 the campaign staff needs to talk to him like talking to grandpa.
"We finally beat medicare" 😳
Biden loss will give Shakespeare an excuse to arise from the grave and write another play.
Add a new Greek tragedy as well.
As an American, Biden needs to retire. This is elder abuse.
Not really. He enjoys the power too much to give it up.
@@jglee6721 jill will do anything to keep title of first lady,,, hunter is afraid he will go to jail if daddy looses
Self-abuse.
I highly doubt that your American, because you would understand process American politics works. You just jump on the News Network band wagon, so if Jim Jones was still living, you would have drunk his poison Kool-aid like his followers did.
The wife and drugged out son are causing this travesty.
Poor guy has aged a decade in the last 3 years. Time to pass the torch.
You can't steal from mother nature.
Poor guy aided and abated a genocide
Dr. Jill said to him stay the course.
Yep, let's keep pretending he was not like that during 2020 campaign.
If he can find it😂!!
He needs to be forced out. Ego has no place here.
Biden’s mantra, I trust the people of the USA, well trust what they’re saying now. Mr President thank you for your service hand over the baton to someone else, please retire for the good of the country.
No he can not serve 4 more years
Please force him out ASAP, we’re running out of time.
One can certainly hope! He seems not to grasp the reality of the situation.
That is the point.
His refusal to take a cognitive test tells you everything you need to know.
Use the 25th. amendment.
Dems don’t have the spine. They’d rather we go down in flames than take a stand against dementia in the White House.
Why no one is talking about the 25th amendment?
God help us!
This a truly horrible situation.
Resignation and a graceful retirement would be even better
It's the responsibility of his wife and friends and family to know when to step in and make it happen. But I think they're in denial. Or afraid to confront him.
is that a typo? u mean disgraceful?
Why did he run again at 81? His VP can simply run and the Dems pick another VP!
Haha Harris won't win
Because she is dumber than he is.
This all depends on how it all plays out. If Biden fully steps down as President and Kamala takes his place, she will not likely have a VP, since in this instance, the House would have to confirm her choice and there's a 0% the GOP would do that, since by not giving her a VP, the next in line would be Mike Johnson. She could pick a "running mate" but that individual would only become VP after she would win the election (which I doubt she would but, that's beside the point). If she replaces Biden as a candidate but he doesn't step down, then she could select one at the convention however if Biden is not well enough to campaign for a second term, then it will raise very serious questions about how he can remain as President, considering the job of the presidency is far more demanding than campaigning. The Democrats have really dug themselves into a hole here. That they refused to have a real primary this year only makes that problem even worse.
I don’t think Democrat will win even.
Because this wing has the same leanings they accuse the other of having. They could have had a spirited primary, without putting their thumb on the scale and we would've had a candidate the people actually wanted.
We can only hope!!!
Man's age is not something to be funny. Let this leader to rest at home in his final years. one day we will all be old like him.
He is going to drop out by the end of next week.
🇺🇲 ⌚️
Can he take Scholz with him ?
This is unfair!!!
Unfair that he might be forced out?
Life isn't fair.
He put himself and therefore us in this position. I don’t feel sorry for him.
Kamala, the new Dan Quayle. Popular?
No way. France tv need to update their news. Biden said he is not stepping down.
He doesnt know it yet but he will be stepping down. My guess within 7 days we will get that info.
@@sirzbigniew bollocks
Betting markets still heavily think Biden is
going to drop out.
Biden also said he is a black woman
JB refuses to take a cognitive test...we know what the results are already...25 th amendment...now!
Not going to happen. Why suggest such a silly notion, that in reality has less than zero chance of happening? 😂 🤦♀️
@@karenhollywood3523 Because the situation is desperate.
@@suedavis3525 Less than zero chance of happening. A waste of breath, and not helpful at all to even speak it. 🙄
Good point!! It’s not a part time job. He’s maybe acute to these duties maybe 90-95% of the uptime of the job. Please do the American dignified duty and just retire for the good of our country.
JB, u have zero chance. Pls save the world, France TV is already pleading you. Step aside now.
He is saving the world by staying in.
Unfortunately, I suggest you and the world rooting for Biden and/or Dems batten down the hatches because Trump is going to win. The establishment and elites didn’t listen to the electorate for years and now even if he did step down (which he won’t) it’s too late. No majority of Americans and electors will vote overwhelmingly for the alternative over Trump.
Why are you people so ignorant you dont see biden is a terrible person and candidate. He hurt the entire west.
The discussion of Biden's age misses the mark, in my opinion. As a physician, my question isn't how old he is, but what diagnoses might explain his "senior moments." Otherwise, this debate verges on ageism, lumping all octogenarians together, rather than acknowledging marked variation. That includes so-called "super-agers," who remain "young" cognitively and physiologically, into their 90s.
Focusing on self-care, including regular exercise, healthy eating, plenty of sleep, stress management, and little or no alcohol can help more of us lessen the risk of becoming frail and cognitively impaired in old age.
Biden, however, may have early cognitive impairment, and possibly a variant of temporal lobe epilepsy that leads to "focal unawareness seizures" with episodic "freezing." If so, taking an anticonvulsant would lessen the risk of this disorder leading to Alzheimer's disease.
The key question is will Biden and his closest advisors get out of the Denial phase soon enough?
Easy stop giving him The Steroids.😮😮😅 It will be natural.. Should Take about 20 minutes 😅😅
I had to get out of the States to find a reasonable voice. Thanks.
That old fool couldn’t win a counting to ten contest.
Stop this nonsense talking. Ofcourse he’s old, but the media should focus on the mental health of Trump instead. Debating performance is not an important issue. The democrats should have broughtthis forward 3 years earlier. It’s too late for that now.
He’s had a few dementia mess-ups on the campaign trail after the interview.
Donors pulling support will force his hand to drop out. And your guest said what I have been saying - people can't unsee what they saw. The damage is done.
Great insight
don't force him out the horror show must go on
He has not been running the US oligarchy anyways! So why remove the clown!
Many invested good money to own him! 😂
He looks like he’s 110 years old. That isn’t a normal 81. My grandfather lived to 90. At 81 he could still carry on a conversation and was sharp minded. Something else is wrong with Biden.
My grandfather at 88 was sharp as a tack. My great grandfather on my dads side was sharper at 95
I agree, and I'm concerned for him. But I'm also angry that people think this is what automatically happens to all of our elders. Your experience just shows this is not true. I do think that older politicians, even in their 80's, can be very effective and valuable because of their experience.
People age do differently
Love this news presenter! They speak clearly and seem down to earth
He's orange. Painting him won't help.
Remarkable legacy??!!!
Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂
Mr Thomas, what about Donald Trump ? His mental acuity is also in play as can be seen by many social media clips on TikTok and RUclips reels….
If Joe Biden should leave the race , Donald Trump should do too.
It's time for this elderly gentleman to retire and be with his family. We need a young, strong willed leader over here in the states.
Yeah that ain’t how it works at all
We should have been having this discussion 3.5 years ago
He needs more Amphetamins. Trump is always hyped up on it.
Definitely.
BIDEN is SO DONE
The people do not want Biden to back out, we are the voters not corporations
He can’t make 4 more years
Rubbish. They don't name a replacement.
Baden’s ego will not let him to step down. His last answer to yesterday’s quest about next year January if he didn’t win gave me his point where he is thinking about himself and not the country.
He is mind off
Please stay in mr. biden. lol TRUMP 2024 for America's sake and world peace.
He has been a good president but it’s time to step down. Our democracy is at stake.
Like the Pope too,he won't retire.
I wish people would stop saying Gavin Newsom. You cannot have a California presidential nominee as well as a vice presidential nominee from the same state.
She'd have to not be on the ticket.
@@theonlycaulfield true. Which I don’t think will happen because of her ethnicity, unfortunately
Dean Phillips
Doesn’t have the decency to put country before party, before himself…meanwhile, WE THE PEOPLE are the losers.
that time when the puppet becomes the nuisance 🤣
You want to know when trump is losing to President Joe Biden?
Americans need to do what Algerian people and HIRAK did to former Algerian Alzheimer President Bouteflika to fire him
Here we have the choice between one power-hungry narcissist, bent on holding power and to hell with the good of the country, or the other.
The wife and drugged out son are causing this.
Biden is terrible you keep saying its trump
Sleepy joe needs a doctor and some help man the poor old man 😅😅😅😅 this madness this guy cannot use the f wc alone 😅😅😅
Why dose he seem to take it so personal though? Nothing is saying he is has been all bad and he did a good enough interview afterwords but he hasent he already been president for 4 years ? And if he steps down its not like he cant be involved in whatever his intrests are, but i mean its sort of part of the game that people have bad and good and middle opinions about anyone really, only with more famous once its suddenly strangers who have a opinion of you, but he should know its not exactly personal from every person its just more practical, to be honest iv never understood the your on the right or left or etc etc, i think that sort of things dose more damage and stigma and polorize, i mean life in general is like riding a bike, you can only move by balancing, only by balancing move
Biden campaign looks more and more like a Weekend at Bernie’s.
People need a better option to vote against Trump. The replacement has to come this week.
Good for old man home
Make Alzheimer great again
remarkable legacy?
Whatever works to beat Trumpski. That's the real objective, Biden or not.
Keep on dreaming.
Weird. I thought the goal was to have a competent POTUS that represents the people...
@@TheTwangKings Yawn.
@@jglee6721 Wow, your English vocabulary is really impressive, trollski.
@@thenellierose That would be the people who pay attention. Which is sort of the opposite of the definition of MAGA-heads.
There is no way to force Biden to step down.
@@user-nc1lb6vl9y Not quite true. Get the Supreme Court to certify on incapacity grounds
@@user-ln3lh2pz8h You are saying that the Supreme Court could keep Biden out of the election. Never heard of such a thing. Sounds like we need to get a rope on the Supreme Court.
25th amendment
@@Disaster_Tourist "It clarifies that the vice president becomes president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office through impeachment, and establishes how a vacancy in the office of the vice president can be filled." From Wikipedia on impeachment.
Biden will not be impeached and will not resign. Biden might die but that is not really under consideration.
^^^^What they said. Also, the donors are abandoning him.
A stroke has happened and it shows. His stance, facial motions, and use of his arms in a stride walk and maintain balance.
please never become a doctor
He's been like this for the last 3-4 years. The media has just been deliberately hiding it from you.
Poutine tastes good,Putin is good to his people and the only politician that wants to stop this stupidity
But he is also not leaving
Ohh this presenter oooohhhh my my my.
He is dropped out, period. Hhhh😅
Biden is the nominee leave it alone.
Lmaooo
Sadly it’s over.
Trump or Biden.
The USA is finished.
You act like he's applying to be a navy seal. All he has to do is make choices, and damn does he make good ones. Very smart man, proof is in the pudding, as they say xD
I'm praying Mr. Biden to stay in the race.
you are praying for our downfall
democrats has plenty of option,s unfortunately the longer biden hold out, the harder for the right candidate to be recognized. (except for kamala harris) biden - time to day good-bye for the good the country.
Anyone assuming that Kamala wouldn't be the nominee if Biden changes his mind about running is living in a fantasy world. The only way this would be the case is if Kamala would decide not to run, but considering she has always had serious presidential ambitions, that's extremely unlikely.
It’s too late now
Who cares about getting tested??....PERCEPTION in politics is everything ...he should resign
I really think Harris will fare worse against Trump. However, a smart play might be for Biden to resign now let Harris become President and the first female President. That would give her the best chance.
Oh no. Please don’t. Isn’t there another way?
She is unpopular. Even if she is President for the rest of this year she would be far behind in the polls.
Interesting. But she'd still have to run against Trump in November, which you said wouldn't go well. So, not a solution. But it's an interesting idea nonetheless.
Biden needs to step aside and Harris can't take his place at the top of the ticket. Harris has been defending Biden for months. That means she'll have to explain how she didn't see what we all know. Sorry, she can't unring that bell. Whitmer / Kinzinger 2024
Or Whitmer and Shapiro
Dean Phillips
Zero national name recognition.
No way the pass over Kamala, half of black voters would stay home if that happened.
@@anodyne57 Whitmer is going to be on GMA Tuesday morning. I saw several promos for her interview. Seems like they are at least getting ready to get ready.

way to go sleepy joe!!! 😄😄😄
A choice between the nut house and the nursing home

Awakenings
@@Mozart69938 Not sure how accurate the story is, but there was a report of a Parkinson's expert meeting with Biden's doctor in some visitor log related to Biden. Not a doctor so no idea if his behavior is similar to Parkinson's but that is concerning.
They better decide soon! Hillary not getting any younger! Clinton wants the job!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NOT DROPPING
Vote Biden!
I am surprised that the best options the richest democracy can come up with are two senile grandpa's. The system needs correction.
Wrong
IM RIDIN WIT BIDEN
He is just a puppet with each movement being controlled by the puppeteers behind the stage. Poor puppet has no mental faculty left to know when to quit the stage. Yes, he still had jet lag from the Obama era. I started to watch the debate and could not endure more than 10 min of both.
Biden is going nowhere
As a Pennsylvania voter, I want him out. Anyone but Biden!
Biden doesn’t need to drop out. But he does need more energy.
I recommend regular massages and yoga-therapy.
And he can stop funding wars, because wars are stressful,
He can also listen to peaceful/energetic instrumental music. Like Tycho.
I am a strong Democrat, and I would vote for President Biden. However, the moment arrived for President Biden to decide to step down. I hope this happens.
Give Kamala a chance
she never even got out of the primaries. she's had 'a chance'...
Biden literally picked Kamala because he wanted insurance on his presidency. He likely figured no one would want Kamala as President and people would be deeply hesitant to replace him if it ever came to that.
Willie Brown did!
An Aries President? What could go wrong?
She's a Libra.
Wouldnt be surprised if they announce his passing soon. Probably the only way to salvage the Democratic ticket. What a bunch of losers.
He will be the first Zombie in American history to hold this office!
It’s all up to Jill, the senior elder abuser.
The Democratic Party would be insane to keep running that corpse.
He’s not leaving. The best case for the dems is to just lose the election, try to stop super majority, and groom better candidates for 2028.
Harris/ Moore 2024!
JB is the best the Dems can do and it is not FARE to say a old man can not be president every one is equal give him a chance.
Walmart has this policy.
Ruin his legacy 😂😂😂
