Biden Campaign
President Biden is still facing fallout from his halting debate performance.
Friday, Biden sat down for a 22-minute interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. In it, he credited his “bad night” to feeling sick and exhausted from overseas travel. He rejected calls to withdraw from the race and evaded Stephanopoulos’ repeated request that he receive an independent evaluation of his cognitive and neurological functions.
While Biden made no major gaffes, he didn’t squash some Democrats' fears that he is no longer able to handle the presidency or defeat former President Trump.
Since the debate, five House Democrats and multiple prominent donors have called on President Biden to step aside, praising his record but saying it’s time to pass the torch. Rumors of more elected Dems speaking out swirl, but most are publicly supporting Biden for now.

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
Voting is an important and powerful way to create change, but, as Christians, our hope is never contingent on an election's outcome or a political party's success.
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
