President Biden has a string of critical appearances today that will be closely watched, as the president struggles to fend off mounting pressure from within his own party to end his reelection bid following his disastrous debate last week.
Biden is heading to the battleground state of Wisconsin for a rally that’s scheduled to start at 2:15 p.m. ET. Hours later at 8 p.m., a sit-down interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos is set to air.
In Madison, Biden will be campaigning alongside Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and other local leaders. The event comes just over a week after his troubling performance in a debate against former President Donald Trump, which sparked calls within the Democratic Party for him to step aside.
But Biden, 81, has said he won’t be backing down from the 2024 presidential race. The president and his campaign have spent the last week in damage control mode, insisting that Biden is the right man to take down Trump this fall in the race for the White House.
