Democratic strategist David Axelrod warned that President Biden is “dangerously out of touch” with voters on the issue of his age and health following Biden’s highly anticipated sit-down interview on ABC News.
“The president is rightfully proud of his record. But he is dangerously out-of-touch with the concerns people have about his capacities moving forward and his standing in this race,” Axelrod wrote in a post on the social platform X. “Years ago at this time, he was 10 points ahead of Trump. Today, he is six points behind.”
Axelrod’s comments came shortly after Biden’s full interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos aired Friday evening. The interview was the first since Biden’s widely panned debate performance against former President Trump last week.



Commentary:
If anyone goes to the tape they will see that DJT never spoke at the same time Joe did, he even finished with time remaining several times. You can't say that with a split screen. the optics would have been horrible. Also, maybe there is a way, but why wouldnt Joes mic pick up Trumps voice too?
This is getting good! A Democrat politician who’s only in it for themselves, is self dealing, will not compromise no matter how absurd their position, doesn’t care about voters or the country… or for that matter even his party.

He was quite fine with voters at the rally in Wisconsin.

Agreed. There is no reason to swap him out. Biden has this in the bag.
