As President Joe Biden gears up for a crucial primetime interview on Friday, his campaign officials are carefully managing expectations. They are well aware of the president's tendency for verbal missteps and the significance of the upcoming interview.
According to CNN reports, Biden's advisers are considering a high-profile interview to showcase that his energetic rally in North Carolina following the debate was not a one-time occurrence.
However, the campaign is realistic about Biden's history of verbal gaffes and tangents. Observers have noticed a decline in the pacing, clarity, and focus of his speeches since taking office.
Friday's interview will serve as a pivotal moment to demonstrate Biden's fitness and capability for another term. Campaign aides understand that his performance in this interview, scheduled to be recorded on Friday afternoon and aired in the evening, will face intense scrutiny.
While Biden's past interviews have predominantly focused on domestic and foreign policy, this upcoming interview is expected to center on his suitability as a candidate.
