Was This the Cringiest Moment During Biden’s Disastrous BET Interview?

In a recent interview with BET, President Joe Biden appeared absent-minded and made several controversial statements. During the interview, Biden forgot the name of his defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, referring to him as "that black man." Additionally, he claimed that his declining support among black voters was due to his inability to walk through the projects anymore, a statement that has raised eyebrows.

Biden also mentioned that black voters don’t pay attention until after Labor Day, a claim that lacks any statistical backing. These remarks have added to the growing concerns within the Democratic Party about his candidacy.

A significant portion of Democrats are now expressing their desire for Biden to step down from the presidential race. Two-thirds of Democrats want him to drop out, and 80 percent believe he is too old to run for president. This interview is likely to exacerbate those sentiments as Biden faces increasing pressure to reconsider his re-election bid.

We’re at a point where many Democrats have adhered to a ‘three strikes rule’ with President Joe Biden. His performance in recent interviews has been troubling, starting with ABC News, followed by a problematic appearance on NBC News, and now culminating in a highly criticized interview with BET. These interviews have highlighted Biden’s struggles to articulate his thoughts, maintain his train of thought, and recall information, thereby amplifying concerns about his mental acuity. The Wall Street Journal’s observations about Biden’s decline appear to be accurate.

Biden is particularly struggling with black voters under the age of 50, and there is little indication that he will be able to reverse this trend in the coming months. Among black women, Biden's support has plummeted by 31 points since 2020. These statistics are alarming and could prove detrimental to his re-election bid, despite the White House’s apparent dismissal of these concerns.

Reports have emerged suggesting that Biden has privately conceded that he cannot win and may consider exiting the race. The outcome of these speculations remains to be seen.

In the immediate aftermath, this interview has sent the ladies of The View into full dirge mode, reflecting the growing unease within the Democratic Party.
