All of us get old. I am 72 and realized last year that i am no longer capable of performing in my profession to the standard i have done my whole life. It has been difficult but i am grateful that i could make this transition privately. President Biden is having to reach this point under public scrutiny. I feel for him. I wish he would step down voluntarily, enjoy his family time, write books or whatever would help him close this chapter of his life. I think we need to be kinder. Its something we all face eventually.
Agreed. And ditto for Donald. Everybody gets old.
You can’t overcome a decline with speech as a US President. Eyes, yes (glasses). Hearing, yes (h. Aids). But not speech - and awareness makes the speech decline even worse.
It’s like football - we’re in the 4th quarter and the quarterback can’t throw anymore.
I have the utmost respect for Biden. I’m sure he’s heavily thinking about this grave situation and mulling over what to decide and who he thinks he’d want to take over the nomination. As a country we need to back off and let him be for at least a couple of days. He’s sick with Covid too. He needs a short rest.
More folks need the compassion you have for Biden. Thank you for this statement 💜
@@kendrah8365 thank you! I think we need to be kinder to each other in general....nobody I talk to enjoys this judgment and divisiveness that seems to have taken root since the covid nightmare....it's up to us to make the choice to come together again no matter what side of the fence we are on. We can keep feeding the anger and vitriol that makes nobody happy (ok I guess some people enjoy the fighting) or we can come together.
PS Joe Biden has served the country for many years, there is no shame in stepping down now. I hope being sick will allow him a little time out to think about it in peace.
"Being kinder" is easier said than done when talking about politics ma'am. Your job is to make cookies and tell stories about playing outside as a kid. Joe Biden is supposed to be running this country, and he sleeps in until after noon...
Katie, why did you not ask the question - why did the NYT never call for Trump to drop out of the race?
maybe everyone knows Trump won't give an F.
You think Trump would listen to the NYT? There is a small chance that Biden actually may listen, that's why. NYT has been explicitly critical of Trump from the very beginning. They have done their job. Next question.
Because the answer is obvious. Trump won't.
Trump is the same as 2015 - vile - but functioning cognitively. Biden is not functioning, can't string 2 sentences together without a teleprompter.
And trump staying in the race is the best case scenario for democrats - should be the easiest case to prosecute for a politician - but biden can't do it...
“What about, Trump?” Don’t protect Biden. We need a new candidate. We should have had a real primary to begin with. He is too old. We all know Donald Trump is worse. That has nothing to do with it.
Why is no one talking about the fact that Trump did not answer a single question
Everybody knows that Trump lies. That's not news to anyone. Therefore, people are not discussing it. However, many people were surprised and interested in Biden's condition and how that plays out in some of the behind-the-scenes conversations because all of this is relatively new.
Trump being Trump = boring
Major drama in the Democratic party = interesting 🥳
Because it's irrelevant.
When the media doesn't call out the lies with evidence, then people think they are truths. Monumental journalism failure
Whataboutism won't change Biden's situation.
When Trump speaks all I hear is Charlie Brown’s teacher. Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
Last time I checked, this is still a democracy. The people have spoken, so it is not up to the politicians, the elites or the celebrities to choose who will be the presidential candidate or the Vice Presidential candidate. So go away talking heads.
I hope Joe stays in! He's done many positive things, promises to do more (which I can believe). But the Dems and DNC are, as usual, without a good game plan; can't cough up a better candidate than Joe Biden yet want him to quit. I think I'm more upset at these Dems who have caused all this dissension against him, than I am at Maga people who worship Trump! I'm making mental notes of which of my state's congressional team are calling for Biden to step aside--they've lost my vote.
"The last time people really felt good about their lives was pre-pandemic." This is such a great observation.
Yes - it is. But truthfully - feeling good was pre-Trump.
In hindsight, his refusal to do the Super Bowl interview said it all. His team did NOT want him out there. Why they allowed him to debate in the state he’s in we’ll never know.
Why on earth does Couric keeping saying President Trump? He's not the president.
Joe Biden said AGAIN today, he's not dropping out. Why are you still talking about it?
I’m almost 75 please stay in the race Mr Biden
Nope! He just confirmed, again, this morning that he's staying. We're going to win.
It takes determination.!
No, how it is now democrats are not going to win, stubbornness does not win you elections. All the polls are bad for Biden.
I'm sure the MAGAs will be thrilled if Biden stays.
@@faithallen1169 that's fine. I don't care. let them wallow in their arrogance.
@@faithallen1169 Yes, they will. I saw comments under mainstram media where the whole comment section is full of Maga people celebratig that Biden wants to stay, because they know that means Trump will win.
WHY ARENT WE FOCUSED ON TRUMP DROPPING OUT !!!
Because the only people who want Trump to drop out are people who would rather vote for a pineapple for president.
Trump supporters not only want Trump to stay in the race... But want him to never leave, and then hand his power to someone else when he finally leaves office. They want an authoritarian theocracy... Not a democracy.
Thanks for all your interviews, Katie. I look forward every day to listening to your intelligent, constructive, and humane questions.
I really enjoy hearing you interview people. You have access to so many informative people. Thank you for your efforts.
Biden will not be dropping out sorry to disappoint corporate media and shifty politicians who some thought were public servants.
top democrats are now considered shifty politicians, that"s not speaking well of your own party.
Words eaten.
Ooops aged like dogshit , Biden is a corporate goon to pretend otherwise is delusional
I’m so glad you and Maggie did this Katie. It gives us all some deep insight into the gravity of this situation.
I want him to stay in.
This is depressing to me. I feel a new candidate or if Biden steps down, Donald will become our president and that seems like very dangerous situation. Horrified doesn't explain how I feel about the fascist dictatorship we may be in for.
No talk about how unfit Trump and Vance are for office? Amazing.
Don't count Joe out! 💙🇺🇲😎
They act like trump is normal after attempting a coup. They choose what to cover. How disrespectful to the voters.
Sad to see Biden in this predicament. He has the weight of the world on him. In spite of the fears of sexism I think it’s going to have to be either Kamala Harris or Gretchen Whitmer to take over the nomination. This might be what Biden is pondering about now. Give Joe some time to think!!!!!
Oh, please. I see no good reason to speculate. Rise above. They're is no doubt that unlike Drump, Biden will consult with wisdom and make whatever decision is best for the country. He's a nobel snd wise person and an expert on how to get things done. There are numerous considerations. He's all about doing what's best for the country.
He is best for the country, period. All the naysayers are just showing off. ”Oh, look how much influence I have!” Makes me sick and I have lost all respect for them.
Everything is expensive, all insurances ,food, gas, and medications. Housing cost is out of control . I've been a lifelong Democrat and what people are saying in my circle is that he is not addressing issues that 60% of Americans are facing. I'm sick of seeing money printed for other countries. While we suffer. Needs to be addressed
Biden has some forum of Dementia I'm not a doctor, just a caregiver to someone with it. If they skip over, Harris won't vote for President
I stand with Joe. Republicans want President Biden to drop out and open the door for Trump. Democrats need to wrap their head around that and support Biden and keep him in office. Once re-elected, the President can make other decisions about his future. Hold the fort!
Sorry, but that is utterly and completely wrong. Republicans would *love* for Biden to stay in the race. Their biggest fear is that he drops out and DJT has to run against a much more vigorous and compelling candidate.
I really wish everyone would stop talking about this and giving it so much energy. It breaks my heart to think that he would drop out.
Biden is not able to counter Trump. He is not able to get the points democrats want to make across, not even in interviews. He is not able to actually campaign. He had so few appearances and none of them went really well. He has talked about project 2025 like two times and it takes me effort to even audibly understand what he is saying because he mumbles and whispers and is hoarse all the time, not from a cold, but from age. Democrats can only win when they convince swing voters who are not sure whom to vote for. How do you imagine swing voters to decide for Biden when they can`t even understand what he is saying when he finally manages to utter a sentence and that sentence is not even relevant? I want democrats to win and beat Trump, so I want a younger more dynamic candidate to run who can actually go on a campaign trail and convince swing voters.
I agree!

Since when Maggie Herberman has become an expert in predicting Presidential elections?
Since never.
Alan Lichtman has successfully predicted the last ten elections. He has stated that if Joe Biden steps down we have a much greater chance of losing against Donald Trump.
She doesn’t have a stellar history
Since the twelve of never....🤐
She has an extensive history on following everything Trump.
Thank you ladies!
Media and corporate Democrats stop the nonsense! Ridin with Biden!
No Joe Biden. Will not quit!!! No way! 👍👍👍👍👍💙💙💙💙💙💙 2:20

This is all too much! He needs to go. Kamala will be fine. The media will ignore him Trump for a change . Atleast Kamala is a joyful person, the country needs that.
I would have to hold my nose as a democrat to vote for Kamala. Swing voters are not going to do that.

Katie stop calling Trump President Trump is former President Trump
almost immeasurably sad that this man who has given so much to public service and can not realize the ride is over and a decision to exit must now happen. unbelievable that America has come to this as the once greatest nation of the free and democratic world can only provide a choice between Trump and Biden and no other smart intellectual individual is available at this very important time in history
Yeah?! Get over it!
Democracy is dead as a door nail
The ride is not over. The media and some Democrats are actively trying to push him off.
@@janetl9984 the end comes when th money dries up and that is happening. it is all about follow th money and trump funding is now in th absurd range and Joe has disappeared. I am not a Trump supporter not ever would be but going forward Biden can not take it over the top
Nice to see Haberman smile. When she is on CNN she looks like she was just told super bad news.
Maggie Haberman - is she still on DJT's payroll?
Vance is BFFs with Don Jr. and Eric….that gave him the edge. It’s a testament to Vance’s cold analysis of how to promote himself. He knows cultivating relationships with the family was how he could get his best shot, all the way down to growing the beard out like them.
OMG drop it
Omg is that Maggie really smiling and laughing?!
How quickly news gets old. :)
We The People… picked Biden and Harris to be on the ticket.
The voters don’t want Biden go …💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
They both state he has given no interviews, when there have been four post-debate hour-long interviews -- Stephanopoulos, Lester, BET, and one smaller news outlet. I like both these women, but for some reason, they are straight out lying. It's disgraceful.
I think they meant before that infamous debate Biden wasn't out there campaigning or giving interviews as much. He needed to but he didn't until he had to go into damage control mode.
7:30 of the video.
@@pluu6110 Even pre-debate, he had been on Howard Stern, at least. They say he hasn't responded to concerns and that is just not true. He's addressed them with every interviewer , saying he needs to be out there where people can see him more, and that he does a cognitive exam every day as the sitting president. They may not like those responses, but he's given them. Until they get what they want, they will continue to bash him. He wasn't my candidate, but he's ended up being the most consequential of my lifetime as far as policy/legislation is concerned. NYT quit covering that boring work of the presidency in favor of clicks years ago.
I know ridiculous
Maggie, some distance from the camera would be great.
Don't appreciate the way you have covered this issue. Shame on the both of you talking as if you're talking behind the senile old grandpa.
No,Biden won’t leave
I hope you are right.
He should not until the convention on Aug 19/ 24.
Stop with this Katie! He said he's in it to win it. So freaking thanks for another term of Trump who lied about everything at his debate.
How did Trump get separated from his shoes? I can't see them just sliding off.
Lifts.
@@Fuliginosus They took his shoes off when he was down so they could do a quick full body scan for injuries. Same reason his shirt was unbuttoned and tie off.
@@ginasrsen Loafers, kind of appropriate.
@@ginasrsen Well, I'm glad they left his pants on.
@@Fuliginosus LOL thank goodness they did not take them off!
Hillary Clinton received the majority of the vote though, so it was very close.
But Hillary faced only sexism. Kamala will have to face racism voters as well. Sad but true.
NO HE WON’T. Ffs, quit giving this air. We voted for him & we’ll vote for him again. Maggie is a Trump supporter. Why ask her? 🤮
100%!!
Katie!! Ex president Trump!!
Thank you for the lovely interview. I think Kamala will do a fantastic job. 🎉
When have we ever seen anything like this?
@@Brian-Ahavah I like Biden. I like his elderly leadership and I like the administration he's assembled. it's been effective and successful so, why even consider changing it . . . everyone seems to forget this country has a VP that's read to go at a moment's notice, should anything happen to the commander in chief but, nothing's happened yet.
I want to know: The details on What happened at the Assassination attempt. Why do we not know anything about the wound. What actually wounded him? A bullet, or
as the POLICE said a shard of glass.
Suddenly it is Radio Silence about all this. We;ve not heard from his Parents. Nor more from the POLICE. --- Journo-- where are you???
Why is there no discussion of the opportunity Biden could grab to cement his place in history by stepping down and passing the power on to the first woman president?
I don’t think that the Democrats want Harris as a candidate that’s why I am so afraid if Biden steps down because I don’t think there’s anybody else that can beat Trump. I hope they don’t regret this decision because it’s going to affect all of us in this country and that’s what’s sad about it is that they think they can make a decision for all of us yes. I’ll tell you watch it this back fires on them, I’m not sure I’ll be voting Democrat next year or the next election.
There is plenty of discussion about this. That is one of the points of contention. People are unsure whether she can beat Trump.
@@SeekSomethingMore I had my doubts before but I now think Harris can. (And I have always believed that Harris is more than capable of being President!)
@@SeekSomethingMore That wasn't pelik's question. He could gain respect for acknowledging his health issues and stepping down because he cannot carry the weight of an active campaign. That "debate" was unforgettable. Whether or not Veep Harris or any other Dem could also beat Trump is not the issue here....there are serious questions about whether or not Biden in his current health state could beat Trump. Grabbing onto power and not letting go, proclaiming you are the only person on earth who can beat Trump...that is too egotistical and out of touch with reality.
@@KathrynHaugan - It is about STRATEGY, not ego. Look up Dr. Lichtman.
Katie please talk about PROJECT 2025 !!!
Today it seems like there has been a shift back toward President Biden not stepping aside. What about the next debate? Do his supporters think that the moderators (and Donald Trump) won't test him severely?
A few days before the debate he was travelling the world several times over! This conversation borders on the absurd.
Talk about something else people voted for Biden. Not interested in media trying to get riy of Biden. Forget the poles.
No he will not
You should be talking about project 2025 instead
Thank you for having this conversation! We need to not be blind like the trump cult is!
They have no plan for a replacement. There are 100 bad scenarios to follow. Kamala has lower approval ratings than Joe, and many are talking about pushing her aside, which would be a disaster.
Alan Lichtman has successfully predicted the last ten elections. He has stated that if Joe Biden steps down we have a much greater chance of losing against Donald Trump.
Vance makes me ashamed to be from Ohio.
So you fell for the Trump BS Lying about 'unifying?'. And Habermann is up Trips Butt!
No he won't i know this already
Harris should pick Liz Cheney as her VP, Liz won't drink the kool-aid and keep Kamala in a bubble!
If Biden doesn't pass the torch, i'll still vote Blue, but i won't hear Biden talk anymore. It's disheartened to hear him talk this way. Incomplete sentences, names mixed up, etc...
Thank you.
Why is some wealthy dems pushing for him to drop out like this isn’t what this time is
And to get out of it we need to start from where we are not jump to something very different
Quit fucking asking if Biden will drop out! Ask why anyone of sane mind would support Trump!
I’m not voting for trump but a lot of people seem like like him and support him
I’m leaning on the hope that a different Democratic candidate will help us win. Some people say, we’ll lose with Kamala, too. I disagree, and believe Kamala is underrated. Even if there is a small chance of Kamala losing, wouldn’t it be better that Biden losing to Trump? Trump would feel vindicated, and we would be kicking ourselves for not supporting Kamala.
except biden will win i dont think at this point anyone else will win
I wish the media would stop blasting this dem party nonsense and get behind Biden unite and win. This is making us lose. Why are you jumping on this train also Katie?
Jeffries is riding with Biden!
Yes, this video didn't age well.
You better find a man who can beat Trump. Like it or not, it's got to be a man.
We got one.
Why should it be a man?
@@ГлебВерховский-п2р Bc women and others have and will fail against Trump. You need a bigger man to put Trump in his place.
Clinton lost to trump and Kama Harris hasn’t done much
I want President Joe Biden to stay until the convention starts August 19/ 2024. Let him release his 4000 delegates then, and have a mini primary. 😮😢
That would create a chaos
@@damali-karlawhittaker6462 I think he needs to be considering doing something now.
i want dems to win . with biden they win everyone else losrs
polls underestimates dem support by 5 to 8 points
When you have an aging parent or grandparent you continue to be clear that you respect them, but when it is time for them to stop driving it is time for them to stop driving - and the more so the more important they are to you. That being said, even a doddering Joe Biden is far better than Trump.
That’s not the question. The question is; can Biden win? My guess is that he cannot.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor While I think he can. He is not the optimum candidate in several ways, but a 'cooperating' Democratic Party can get him elected. All it takes is for everyone who wants Trump to lose to vote. Vote for the Democratic candidate, and then once the election is won start working for there to be better candidates. Politics is the art of the possible, and it is possible for the Democrats to do quite well against Trump. Among other things the Democratic candidates need to be talking about what they will do if they hold the Whitehouse and Congress (etc.), and contrast that with the Project 2025 nonsense (emphasizing both that the Republicans have bad ideas and that even their bad ideas are so poorly described that they should be rejected twice!) and then say again what good things the Democrats will do if elected. No vague platitudes, just clearly articulated plans contrasted with the Republican (hateful) platitudes and lies.
@@qwertyuiopgarth No. Because we aren’t talking about Democratic voters. We’re talking about the undecided and independent voters. He will not win.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Why is it so hard for you to grasp that we need to try to win? It may or it may not happen that Joe Biden steps down, in either case we need to try to win. Winning is possible, but it does require trying.
You better find somebody Indies and Undecideds will vote for!
There are too many different groups in this party, but most substantial being black women in swing states. Who do we think got GA for Biden, and then two Senators to give us a majority? Black women are firmly behind Biden and have been working for him for months, organizing and getting the message out. To push Biden aside would be a slap in the face.
Beginning in 2016, when the DJT/MAGA insanity and chaos sprouted, I began following Maggie as a primary source of high-quality, unbiased reporting on this extremely dangerous movement. She has never disappointed......consistently providing well-informed inside information. Cannot thank her enough.
Is that you Maggie?
They are both trumpets.
Why would you speak with a Vichy mouthpiece like Maggie Haberman on this Vichy concept?🤔
When Biden decided to run again I was very disappointed. Love Biden but we need a fresh new face who can carry on his mission…
Sadly, this was not a time to take a chance on an unproven quantity such as Newsome or Wittmer, etc. That will be 2028. He's the only one with a record to run on, and such a record. To give up incumbent status is a HUGE mistake! Historically odds are with him to win, if NYT would stop working for Trump bashing Biden at every turn.
I love BIDEN I WILL VOTE FOR HIM AND I WILL VOTE BLUE NO MATTER
I think it's really unfair the DNC has not gotten it's sh%t together as far as coming up with a presidential candidate. Is Biden staying or going?? Not fair to voters at this late date.
He received the most votes by far in the primary. It is President Biden‘s choice. He has made it very clear he is staying.
@@flbeblue1423 Is Biden still a viable candidate? What primary?? they didn't have one.
He's the nominee. Corporate media and billionaire donors only piled on Joe after he said we're going to make billionaires pay their fair share.
Watching this after Biden dropped out. One again Maggie is correct!
Does America know everyone is laughing at them? As a European with family in the US it sadness me. Population of America 3.3 million - but not one single good person??? SHAME ON YOU
And Americans are laughing at the democrats.
Loved u for most of my life, sad u r giving air to so much disloyalty...thought higher of u than that.
(@3:45) ***FACT CHECK*** please cite your sources for your statement that insinuates something to the effect, "Joe Biden's contributions fell after the debate in June...and contributions are much lower in July" . Isn't this ALWAYS THE CASE that June recieves more than July. I am citing my question after reviewing my sales goals vs. This year's actuals.( End at 3:53)
The time for him to step down would’ve been early last year by not seeking reelection. Now the members of the Democratic Party with Obama now taking the helm of a political coup to oust the sitting president Biden from office with a relentless persistence to get him to concede to their demands. This despite them insisting the party and voters unite behind Biden up until just a few weeks ago, and despite making him the majority candidate in the Democratic primary. So no Biden shouldn’t step down.
The tail is wagging the dog!😮
The dog 🐕 is wagging its tail.! 0:08

Just like the rest of the sycophants.

Katie!! Ugh. You are awful! Trump did not have presence of mind and it was not remarkable for him to pop up and fist pump “fight, fight, fight!” last Saturday. Remarkable would have been if he had told the Secret Service “I’m ok but get the others who were shot and bleeding help.” Come on!!
This is all very subjective
Maggie Haberman, the lady that gets everything wrong!
