ABC News panel says Biden interview won't 'calm the nerves' of 'jittery Democrats'

The ABC News panel had some choice words for President Biden following his primetime interview with anchor George Stephanopoulos Friday.

"Look, Biden looked better and certainly more coherent than he looked during the debate, but there's nothing in this interview that is calming nerves of jittery Democrats who fear that Joe Biden is on a trajectory to lose this race, to lose to Donald Trump," ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl told Stephanopoulos after the interview.

"In fact, for some of those people, the interview is raising new concerns, particularly the fact that he is unwilling or unaware of the fact that he is in a dire situation here regarding the campaign, that he is losing, in the view of many Democrats and frankly in the polls you cited, that he is losing to Donald Trump," he said.

ABC News chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz said those Democrats she had texted insisted the interview "wasn't as bad as they expected," but added, "That's a pretty low bar."

The network's congressional correspondent Rachel Scott told Stephanopoulos after hearing from Democratic lawmakers, they're concerned that while the "dam hasn't broken tonight," "the bleeding has not stopped, either."

"Another Democrat telling me, ‘Better, but not sure that is enough,' that they need more than one interview, more than 22 minutes to prove that the president has the stamina to continue in this race and defeat Donald Trump," Scott said before adding that the "movement" trying to remove Biden as the Democratic nominee "is growing.
