If Biden doesn’t ace the first debate, will he be replaced at the convention?

I have to admit I think the early debate might be to see if Biden is competent enough to keep running.

No, the early debate is to change the narrative by putting Trump in front of the American people on national television. His only appearances so far this year have been rallies full of devoted supporters and interviews with conservative hosts lobbing softball questions. Bash and Tapper will be asking follow-ups, muting him when it's not his turn to speak and maybe even fact-checking him.

Did Biden have a tough interview that I missed? He certainly won’t get the same treatment from Bash and Tapper.

This.

Yes. Biden will be replaced by the Anointed One at the convention. Inside Democrats are actively saying this in interviews on mainstream media shows.

Who are you? I'm asking because when I see posts like yours I scratch my head. In the first place, the Republicans aren't capable or creative enough to figure out how to persistently and relentlessly create fake/AI/selectively edited clips of Biden behaving like a very elderly man with rapidly advancing decline. You're giving the Republicans way too much credit here. Because the reality is that all these clips are real. The "edits" are brief cuts but even those brief cuts show the same story over and over again, this is a man in his declining years. The group clip with the other G7 leaders was the worst one of them all because it shows the enormous gap between Biden and his fellow world leaders. Just *look* at it. And be honest. And these clips show the same issue over and over again that nobody else has, not Nancy Pelosi, not Donald Trump, not Schumer, not any of the too old to still be in politics political figures.

The Democrats have a real problem on their hands. The debate is irrelevant, it's not going to change any votes. I'm sure Biden will be pumped filled with medicine to keep him alert one last time. However he performs at the debates, I guarantee you within a few days there will be yet another one of these clips of Biden in public fading out in front of everyone. The reality is Biden is old. His transition from old to very old is accelerating rapidly and, apparently, faster than expected.

There is definitely one way for Biden to prove all of us wrong. Engage with the public. Have lots of interviews, speak frank and candidly, warm up the crowd, you know, like younger politician and dare I even say it, Donald Trump. But he can't. And we all know why.

I haven’t seen HRC specifically but I have seen dems talking about replacing Biden.

There is no way Harris would allow this to happen. The kindest thing you can say about Kamala is that she is predictable.

I assume they pump Biden full of amphetamines when he has a major public performance, but that can only work for so long. To be sure, it can get Biden through the election, but there's no way he'll be able to serve four years in the modern media environment.

After Robert Hur's Biden age comments, could any Democrats really take his place in 2024?

So there are more articles than the ones above, but you get the picture.

I find it interesting that most of these articles are from February, which was before Biden's State of the Union speech.

wow, you "Biden is on drugs" people are really something.

Because the man babbling incoherently about sharks and boat batteries is totally with it, right?

We are so effed.

Biden is sooner or later going to have a serious medical event in public or on tv. He’s reaching a level that declines rapidly, quickly. His gait is so bad now it’s getting harder for him to walk.

Wow. You should post those articles.
That are recent, and not written by republicans.

The debate is going to be super cringe. Like watching a couple of sloppy, demented geriatrics at the nursing home get into it over who gets the last jello. And yet one of those senile old men in diapers is going to be President of the United States for another four years.

Our political system is absolute trash.

The political and procedural steps for how to pick a new presidential nominee.

So far, Democrats have vigorously avoided any discussion of a Plan B for their presidential nominee. But special counsel Robert Hur’s report may have forced their hand.

Fairly or not, Hur’s stinging characterization of President Joe Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” and “diminished faculties” has thrust the president’s age and mental fitness into the debate. Coupled with the widespread perception that Biden is too old for another term and the fact that he frequently trails former president Donald Trump in swing state polling matchups, it’s raised serious questions about whether Biden is positioned to lead the party in November — and whether Democrats need a contingency plan.

There’s actually been a ton of stuff written online discussing this possibility. It’s been talked about for awhile.

And the subsequent release of the full transcripts how how full of BS Hur's report actually was.

You mean the redacted one with all the stuttering and stammering and awkward pauses have been edited out? Garland even said that was done while trying to defend DOJs refusal to release the actual recordings. The recordings must be horrible.
