The current tenant of the White House once again left many doubts about his suitability to rule the United States. His old age and 'errors' They have been the talk of the town since his arrival as president in 2021. In a debate that seemed Biden's big opportunity to stand up to Trump and silence criticism, Scranton's once again showed vulnerable imagewith a muffled and shaking voice and several moments where he became incoherent and tensed had multiple attacks. Once again, Trump's cascade of hoaxes was overshadowed by doubts about whether Biden was his 81 yearsis a valid candidate to renew his mandate and govern for another four years.
Now panic is spreading among Democrats, who see that with just over four months to go before the election, their stronghold against a Trump on the rise It's too weak. The party's eyes are now focused on this Jill Bidenthe first lady, who they say is the only person capable of doing so to convince the president to step aside and retire. Jill, 73, Biden’s top personal and political supporter, however, does not seem qualified for the job and is relying on her husband’s ability.
Jill Biden, the president's main moral and political pillar
As soon as the dialectical battle in Atlanta was over, Jill Biden appeared on the scene to support her husband. the one who helped down the stairs from the CNN stage, like someone taking a knocked-out boxer out of the ring. In that physical support, Jill personified her image as the president's sole political baton. An image that was confirmed when both went outside to talk to those present about what should have happened a party of the Democratic Party. Before hundreds of people gathered at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Atlanta, Jill grabbed the microphone and everyone seemed to forget what had just happened.
“Didn't the president do a great job? Yes,” he told the followers, who began shouting in unison: “Four more years!'Perhaps the fear of a Donald Trump return to the White House still has an effect and will offset the doubts that Biden raises among his own voters. That is what the Bidens seem to be clinging to, despite what was on TV. CNN asked: “You answered all the questions, you knew all the facts. And let me ask the audience: What did Trump do?” the first lady asked, to which she responded to herself along with the audience: “Lie!“.
The day after the debate, the couple appeared at several events, where Biden continued to be supported by his wife, his customary opening act during speeches. At a fundraiser in New York, Jill opened the melon of her husband's old ageFor the first time she was open about this subject and acknowledged the doubts inside and outside his party: “Let's talk about last night's debate because I know that's on your mind. As Joe said earlier today: he is not a young manThe first lady emerged as Biden's confidante and adviser, recounting her post-debate conversation with Trump: “After the debate last night, she said to me, 'You know, Jill, I don't know what happened. I wasn't feeling great.' I said, 'Look, Joe, we're not going to let your four years as president be defined in 90 minutes.'
The polls speak: Biden is sowing doubt within and outside his party
No matter how hard Jill Biden tries, the image of the current President of the United States remains intact it is very damaged, maybe for sure. His participation in the first of the two debates that the candidates will face before the elections has accentuated an impression of excessive old age that existed long before the face-to-face meeting. Public opinion does not forgive, and an overview of 'YouGov' commissioned by Statistics Netherlands, it appears that 72% of voters they believe Joe Biden have to retire of the race for re-election. The same percentage believe that Biden has no mental and cognitive health necessary to rule the greatest power in the West. This presupposes a 9% increase of the electorate who hold this opinion over Scranton's regarding February.
The reasons are clear. He 86% of voters They point to Biden's 81-year-old age as a compelling reason not to be a valid candidate. Despite Jill's attempts to congratulate her husband on “the four years you've been president,” 66% of respondents points to the presidential record of the Democrat as a reason for his distrust. Other reasons include fear of decisions that could lead to his re-election, with a 71% and doubts about their ability to convince in an election campaign, with 56% of responses.
Within the Democratic Party, support for the candidate to renew his mandate has also fallen dramatically. After securing himself the party’s choice in the primaries, held in March, and easily winning the support of a majority of delegates, the debate has raised doubts about whether Biden is the best candidate. The Trump Rebellion requires a strong contender, and maybe Biden isn't that, or at least that's how they see it according to the 'YouGov' survey. Support has fallen dramatically, although the majority of the party 55%continues to believe Biden is his best option for the November election. The Democratic bases will meet in Chicago from August 19 to 22.
67% of viewers believe Trump won the debate
For his part, Trump continues to dodge bullets. It seems incredible that a candidate with such a dubious history continues to rise in the polls as the election approaches, but his rival is making it easy for him. Opinion polls indicate the New Yorker as the winner of the debate unanimously. Once it was done, an initial CNN poll reinforced this idea 67% of the audience in favor. Despite the usual barrage of Trump hoaxes, there isn't much difference between viewers who believe that Biden was telling the truth (40%) and those who believe Trump did it (32%).
“I understand the concerns after the debate,” Biden said at a fundraiser in New Jersey. “I didn't have a great night. But I'm going to fight harder, and I need you to help me do that.” The Democrat is clinging to his last hope against a Trump who, despite being 78, he looked ten years younger than the current president, in the words of analyst J. Miles Coleman. Trump seemed much more moderate than in the 2020 debate, in which he continually interrupted Biden. His strategy in this case was to let his rival's inconsistency speak for itself. The Republican based his offensive on his favorite topic: immigration.
One of the major controversies of the 2020 presidential election that gave Biden the keys to the White House was the Trump's accusations about the reliability of the results. The doubts sown by the New Yorker were the main reason for the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. During the debate, Trump grew giddy when asked whether he would accept the results of the November meeting. After deviating from the topic several times, the former president responded with reservations, saying he would if it were “fair, legal and good elections“, without giving further details about what this means.
