Stephanopoulos, however, was quick to challenge this assertion. “I don’t think you want to play the crowd game,” he responded. “Donald Trump can draw big crowds. There’s no question about that.”
Biden’s retort was equally swift, dismissing Trump’s crowd sizes as irrelevant to the quality of support. “You can draw a big crowd, but what’s he say? Who’s he have? I’m the guy supposedly in trouble,” Biden countered.
The interview also touched on concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities, a topic that has been a point of contention throughout his presidency. Stephanopoulos questioned whether Biden would consider taking a cognitive test and making the results public to reassure voters.
“Look, I have a cognitive test every single day. Every day I have that test. Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I’m running the world. And that sounds like hyperbole. But we are the central nation in the world,” Biden responded. He elaborated on his daily responsibilities, emphasizing the continuous nature of his decision-making process.
“Madeleine Albright was right. And every single day, for example, today, before I came out here, I’m on the phone with the Prime Minister of… I know I shouldn’t get into the detail, but… with Netanyahu. I’m on the phone with the new Prime Minister of England. I’m working on what we’re doing with regard to… in Europe with regard to expansion of NATO and whether it’s going to stick. I’m taking on Putin. I mean, every day, there’s no day I go through that I don’t have to make those decisions.”

When pressed further by Stephanopoulos on the possibility of an independent medical evaluation, Biden firmly rejected the idea, stating, “I’ve already done it,” referring to a past cognitive test.
The exchange highlighted the pressures facing the Biden campaign as they navigate a challenging electoral landscape. Despite the President’s confidence, the calls for him to exit the race reflect a significant level of unease among Democrats. The rallies and the media appearances are part of a broader strategy to project strength and capability.
However, the mixed reactions to his claims about crowd sizes and cognitive health underscore the difficulties ahead. As the campaign progresses, Biden will need to continue demonstrating his ability to lead and to rally support, not just in numbers, but in enthusiasm and conviction.
Biden’s confident remarks about his campaign’s ability to draw large crowds and his dismissal of cognitive concerns are reflective of a candidate trying to project strength in the face of growing challenges. Whether this strategy will be enough to quell internal party doubts and secure voter confidence remains to be seen. The road to November is fraught with obstacles, and every statement, every rally, will be scrutinized as the election draws closer.
Biden has proven over and over again that he is to far gone mentally and need to be in an old folks home ASAP
