Biden Scrambles to Save His Candidacy Amid Growing Doubts

President Joe Biden was fighting for his political future yesterday, confiding in close allies that he understands he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince voters of his competence following a disastrous debate performance last week. A new poll showed that Donald Trump had widened his lead in the race, with growing concerns about Biden's fitness to serve as an effective president.


As speculation about the Democratic ticket's future intensified, Biden had lunch with Vice President Kamala Harris before meeting with Democratic governors. An increasingly vocal contingent of Democrats is urging Biden to restore the public’s faith in his cognitive abilities.
