The New York Times dropped a bombshell, suggesting that President Joe Biden might be pondering his future like a contestant on a reality show. According to their sources, Biden has been doing some serious soul-searching about his debate performance, mulling over whether he can recover from what he reportedly described to an “ally” as a near-debate disaster.
The Times report claims that Biden has been hitting the mental gym, lifting the heavy weights of self-doubt and pondering if he should hang up his presidential running shoes as the Democratic nominee. Picture him in a dramatic movie montage, staring into the distance, soundtrack swelling, contemplating, “Can I convince the public I’m the man for the job? Or is this a sign to exit stage left?”
But wait, hold the dramatic exit! The White House has entered the chat. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates took to Twitter faster than a cat video going viral, declaring, “That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had given us more than 7 minutes to respond, we would have told them so.” Bates, undoubtedly rolling his eyes so hard they could power a small city, squashed the rumors with the vigor of a late-night infomercial host.
So, what’s the real story? Is Biden contemplating a dramatic farewell, or is this just another day in the unpredictable world of politics? Stay tuned, because in this political saga, anything can happen!
That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had provided us with more than 7 minutes to comment we would have told them so. https://t.co/SRTYIVTy7v
