President Barack Obama came to the rescue of Joe Biden on Friday implying it was a bad debate night and Donald Trump is still someone who lies through his teeth for personal gain. “Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November,” Biden posted.
This was a major shift in the Democrat narrative as soon as the debate ended because it had another alternative candidate but some hours later it threw its weight behind Biden — making it clear that Biden would not drop out.
Even in North Carolina, when he rallied for support there, Biden acknowledged his age-related feebleness by confessing he knew he wasn’t young anymore; he could not argue like before but he understood what his job entailed and also the right from wrong aspects, 81-year-old made an emotional appeal to his supporters who were already writing him off after the debate.
In addition, Johnson said members of Biden’s cabinet should start thinking about using the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.” “There’s a lot of people asking about the 25th Amendment, invoking the 25th Amendment right now because this is an alarming situation,” Johnson said. “Our adversaries see the weakness in this White House as we all do. I take no pleasure in saying that. I think this is a very dangerous situation.”
“But it’s not just political. It’s not just Democratic Party. It’s countrywide.” You know? We have a serious problem here because our President appears incapable. “Johnson said. “And these are very dangerous times.” This is one of these very serious moments of American history. And it should be treated as such. And we can only hope that they will do their duty, as we all seek to do our duty on behalf of the American people.”
According to the 25th Amendment on presidential succession, vice president and a majority of the Cabinet may vote to declare a president “unable to discharge the powers and the duties of his office” and give them to vice president who acts in place of him.
