The White House, joined by an official in President Joe Biden’s campaign, wasted no time in refuting a report by The New York Times regarding Biden’s uncertainty in continuing his reelection bid following his poor performance on the Debate stage.
The New York Times reported a key Biden ally said Biden “knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job.”
The report continued how Biden knows the importance of his next public outings will be.
They include an interview with ABC News as well as campaign stops in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, per The Hill.
The White House countered that this is not the case.
“That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had provided us with more than 7 minutes to comment we would have told them so,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said.
Along those same lines, Biden’s campaign said the report was “false.”
