“All sounds fine in President Biden’s world. That devastating debate? Just a bad night. Those dismal poll numbers? Simply inaccurate. The gloomy election predictions? The same old doomsayers, wrong again. The Democrats who want him to drop out? No one has told him that,” the New York Times reports.
“For Mr. Biden, the crisis seen by so many Democrats who are not on his payroll — and by some who are — is nothing more than another bump in the road, another obstacle to overcome as he always has. He does not agree that he is slipping as he ages. He does not accept that he is losing to former President Donald Trump. He does not believe much of his own party wants him to step aside.”
“His prime-time interview that aired on ABC News on Friday night was an exercise not just in damage control but in reality control.”
Molly Ball: Biden’s interview showed a president in denial.
