Critics pile on Biden following ABC interview, blast his refusal to commit to cognitive test: 'Disqualifying'

ABC News' Jonathan Karl offered a grim reaction to the highly-anticipated interview with President Biden, saying it won't "calm the nerves" of "jittery Democrats" pushing to get him out of the 2024 race. President Biden did not calm his critics on Friday night following his interview with ABC News, fueling more calls for him to withdraw from the 2024 race and sparking fierce condemnation for refusing to commit to a cognitive exam. "I wimped out in today's column and deleted a line saying he should formulate a plan to transition the presidency to Harris within 30-60 days, but I'm there now. Something is clearly wrong here," polling guru Nate Silver reacted to the Biden interview. "The most generous way to put it is that he doesn't seem in command, and that's an extremely hard sell when you're Commander in Chief. I continue to think this number is low and Democrats will apply incredible amounts of pressure," Silver continued, pointing to the Polymarket stat showing a "57% chance" Biden drops out of the race.
