CNN's Dana Bash confronted Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) about President Joe Biden's ability to lead the country for the next four years, following a widely criticized debate performance. Clyburn, a longtime ally of Biden, defended the president's record and criticized the lack of fact-checking during the debate.
In a tense interview on CNN's State of the Union, Bash pressed Clyburn about whether Biden, 81, is able to carry out his duties through January 2029, should he win in the fall. Clyburn responded that he does not believe Biden has a problem leading for the next four years, citing his record of leading for the last three-and-a-half years.
Bash followed up by asking Clyburn to address concerns stemming from the debate, even from within his own party. Clyburn acknowledged that Biden's performance was "bad" and attributed it to "preparation overload." He also criticized the debate format, which he said allowed Trump to tell "30 some odd lies" without being fact-checked.
Bash noted that the Biden campaign was on board with the debate rules, but Clyburn argued that the format was not conducive to a productive discussion. He suggested that future debates should include real-time fact-checking to prevent candidates from spreading misinformation.
The debate has sparked concerns among some Democrats about Biden's ability to effectively challenge Trump in the upcoming election. However, Clyburn and other Biden allies have expressed confidence in the president's ability to lead the country and make a compelling case for a second term.
In other news, a former White House photographer has revealed details about how Biden's aides have worked to hide his decline from the public. Chandler West, who served as the White House's deputy director of photography from January 2021 to May 2022, wrote on Instagram that it was "time for Joe to go" following the debate. He argued that Biden's close aides have been shielding him from scrutiny and that his decline has been evident for some time.
The report also detailed how First Lady Jill Biden and her closest advisers have kept the president protected, including keeping the White House residence staff at arm's length. The report cited a troubling incident in which Biden appeared to feel overheated during a July 4th event, prompting his aides to block the White House butlers and residence staff from aiding him.
Despite the concerns, Biden's family has reaffirmed their support for him to continue in the upcoming election. According to reports from the New York Times, a gathering took place at Camp David, where Biden's family urged him to stay the course. His son, Hunter Biden, was a vocal proponent of his father's perseverance, advocating for voters to witness the poised and polished Biden he has long known.
Biden addressed his debate struggles during a campaign event in North Carolina, acknowledging potential limitations in his physical and verbal capabilities but asserting his commitment to honesty and truth-telling. He emphasized his historical and political experience and expressed confidence in his ability to make a compelling case for a second term.
The debate has highlighted a growing level of discord within the Democratic camp, with some calling for Biden to reconsider his candidacy. However, Biden has shown no indication of bowing out of the race, and his campaign has vigorously defended his position. As tensions escalate within the Democratic Party, the debate over Biden's candidacy has intensified, creating a moment of significant challenge for his reelection aspirations.
