US-Presidency - The top Democrat puts distance from Biden in live TV
In the debate over US President Joe Biden's presidential campaign, high-ranking politicians and prominent figures have raised further doubts about the Democrat's chances. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi told MSNBC on a Wednesday that Biden should make a decision soon. Pelosi avoided making a clear statement about whether Biden should run, saying, "I want him to do it, for whatever reason he decides." "We all encourage him to make a decision, because time is running out." Actor George Clooney told ABC, "We won't win the presidency in November with this president."
Clooney, who identifies as a Democrat and organized a fundraising event for Biden in Los Angeles in June, described Biden's performance at the debate as weak and leading to the current debate about his physical and mental capabilities. Biden himself has repeatedly announced since then that he intends to hold on to his campaign.
Clooney wrote in the New York Times on a Wednesday that Biden was not the same man he saw at the fundraiser in 2010 or even during the 2020 election. "He was the same man we all saw at the debate." Biden may have been tired and looked sick, but Pelosi and other party leaders must stop telling us that 51 million people didn't see what we saw. In a later interview with ABC, Clooney's husband, prominent human rights lawyer Amal Clooney's husband, warned that the loss of the presidency on November 3 was not the only risk. "On top of that, we won't win the House of Representatives and will lose the Senate."
Pelosi told ABC later in the day that, in her opinion, Biden could still win in November. When asked about Pelosi and Clooney's statements, Biden's campaign team referred to a letter from the president to Democrats in Congress, in which he stated that he would hold on to his campaign and defeat Trump. Biden himself responded during the NATO summit when asked if he enjoyed Pelosi's support by raising a triumphant fist.
- Despite the concerns raised by high-ranking politicians like Nancy Pelosi and remarks from US-President Joe Biden's critic, actor George Clooney, in the Top-News, Biden has continued his US campaign with unwavering determination.
- In the midst of the US Election debate, Pelosi, along with other prominent figures, has urged Biden to make a decision about his candidature soon, acknowledging that time is running out.
- During a debate, Biden's performance was considered weak by some, such as George Clooney, leading to discussions about his physical and mental capabilities as a US Presidential candidate.
- Nancy Pelosi and other party leaders, like Peter Welch, have faced criticism for appearing to downplay the concerns raised about Biden's performance during the debate.
- In the US campaign, Joe Biden's rival voices, including Pelosi and Clooney, have added to the headlines, but Biden has remained steadfast in his commitment to continuing his bid for the US-President post.
