Congressman Lloyd Doggett has become the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to call on Joe Biden to step aside in the race for the US presidency.
It follows a critical review by some in the Democrat Party of the president's performance during his first debate with Republican rival Donald Trump – but Biden's team says he has no plans to walk away.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's sentencing following his conviction in his hush-money trial will be delayed until September.

Funny thing is Joe has been like this for years and they know it but now they know no one is buying their crap anymore
This is how empires collapse, when people don’t trust politicians, media or justice apparatuses. The same people pushing to have him replaced just days prior told us that he is the greatest leader in U.S.history. Citizens see this, so do the enemies of the.West.
yep
Biden is afraid that Trump, winning the election, will unravel the shady dealings of the Biden family
Not necessarily, I think he’s declined a lot from his state a few years ago, even though he was still old then.
@terracotta34534 you got mugged off unfortunately. He had this before he was president, its why he became president, as a puppet, perfect for the role.
“Step aside” is the only job that Biden needs to accomplish now.
He’d likely trip & fall.
Why ? You believe propaganda?
Fact: joe fixed all the damage Trump inflicted on the US economy .
America has the best performing economy in the world.
Where is the wall Trump promised , where is anything Trump promised, wasnt he president for four years ? Why didnt he make America great ??????????
Ooohhhh, I thought the debate was a Republican cheap fake video. I hope Doocey asking Karine about this, just for the fun of seeing the rug pulled under her feet!
😢
only thing the clown still remembers how to do
Good! It really is a form of elder abuse what they are doing
Nah that’d be your crew….the majority of spineless ageist parasites…hope he doesn’t bow to pressure and holds out against this laughable caveman BS
‘Step down old man’ is what the Democrats should have told him 3 years ago…
Nah he did fine for his tenure.
wasn’t he already dead 3 years ago? there’s been at least 3 different Joe’s this year alone.
He had dementia 4 years ago
@@pbfoley Afghanistan was fine? the Border is fine? the economy is fine? Minute maid juice was $2.30 here in my city last month now its $2.90 one month later 😂 his tenure was far from fine
step down convicted felon and aspiring dictator Trump is what the GOP should have said years ago
It is absolutely absurd that someone who is clearly in such a bad way with his health has been allowed to govern essentially the most important country in the world, do you know how many videos I’ve seen where he’s just an absolute incoherent mess, complete insanity
Nearly as absurd as a convicted felon governing the most powerful country in the world
@@crackednerd that’s not absurd, that would be the norm if the Democrats were allowed to keep using the legal system for their political gain
@@daveoc1010 Maybe if Trump stops committing fraud, sexual abuse, attempted coup, and more. He’ll maybe not get charged with them? Cult members crack me up! 😂
@@daveoc1010baah…orange juice cum good baaaaah
@@theangryscotsman5174Wow you sound like a far left loony.
He sounds senile. He never should’ve been on the election paper in 2020. America’s presidential choices seem absolutely fcked this year.
He is senile .
Nah mate if you watched the debate you would have a clear choice here. Trump destroyed him and no lies detected. Biden did nothing but mumble lies to the entire country for 90 minutes.
You sound triggered like a spineless little parasitic incel keyboard warrior
@samanthagarbettcharles4205 he’s president…wtf are u ??? Karen keyboard warrior check
Probably got a brood and sponging off the welfare benefits system check
@@samanthagarbettcharles4205, he _was_ senile; now he is overcooked.
Painful news for the BBC.
😂😂😂.
Why would the BBC care? Trump doesn’t have any powers to do anything against them. It’s not like the tv new those septics have where you can just lie all the time.
How . One democrat speaks, bbc all over it . Breaking news
You might see it as a leftist conspiracy. The reality though is that the Republicans are a few steps wackier than most right-wing parties in Europe. The Democrats are more like the British Conservatives on matters like gun control, healthcare, not believing the earth is 4000 years old, etc.
😂
Even stepping aside is beyond the ability of this mummy.
I see you inability to bring a valid argument to the table leaves you slinging insults like a chimpanzee flings poo at tourists.
Trump is a convicted felon, fraud, rapist who attempted a coup. Mummies for the win..
.DOnt talk about Biden like that. He is a bright, intelligent man and of service for decades for the US whereas it is evident is that the GOP have a dementia -suffering, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, aspiring dictator Trump running for presidency, staring the end of democracy in the face and nobody seems to talk about that
It’s interesting how they keep saying, “following his debate performance” as if it has just been sanctioned that they begin acknowledging what has been evident from the start.
what a stupid comment.
That is an interesting way to state things. They HAVE, in my opinion and using your words, “sanctioned…acknowledging what has been evident from the start.”
The reality is the left leaning American press has been deliberately keeping Biden’s decline hidden, by continually lying and covering it up. On the other hand right leaning press has covered his infirmity since the 2020 campaign. Remember his campaign was BEFORE the SARS-COV2 pandemic. He held very few rallies or other campaign events, and most of the one’s he did have were done remotely from his home. Their most recent leftist media gaslighting of his decline was by calling videos of Biden’s issues “cheap fakes”. HOWEVER, after the G7 conference when Biden was distracted by the paratroopers landing during the photo op. One of the other leaders gracefully grabbed his arm and the other leaders there then formed around him to take the picture. While the American press lied about the praise the European press gave Biden, the truth is that even though most European press are very left leaning, like America’s, the European press was at least honest in their reporting basically calling Biden lost and weak. Meanwhile, the American media went on a full court press with the “cheap fakes” narrative. However, the behind-the-scenes top DEMS have been floating articles about possible replacements for over a month BEFORE the G7 conference. After G7, they KNEW they could not continue to push Biden. Then the campaign event in California and all the video clips of Biden suddenly freezing seemingly mesmerized by the crowd cheering for him. Then Obama stepping up and taking Biden’s wrist and then putting his arm around the old man’s shoulders. The problem for the media and the Dems there was no way they could continue to call them GOP sponsored editing “cheap fakes”. They couldn’t do that because they were cell phone videos posted by attendees of the fund raiser, actual Biden supporters. SO many of those clips were going viral, they just couldn’t be “managed” by the “official press” coverage. Go ahead and do some scrounging and searching on the net for Biden’s last State of the Union Address. You don’t have to watch the whole thing, but you can watch enough to see his anger and yelling. You also see him struggling to speak clearly and complete sentences, even with a teleprompter. Then watch his debate with Trump from last week. It is like 2 completely different people. One while lively and energetic, still struggling to speak, was probably hyped up on Adderall. The other off the meds and looking worn, tired, confused and struggling even more to speak.
Now, the left leaning press here in America IS beginning to turn on Biden. CNN released off air in studio footage of Trump leaving the stage walking purposefully with sure strides. Biden had to be helped to walk down THREE steps by his wife and he still nearly missed a step. CNN’s Jake Tapper’s coverage of Biden has taken a 180 degree about face from just a few weeks ago. He is supposed to be a neutral journalist right, but he is far from that. He has been a Trump hating activist journalist that has not hidden his bias. His coverage of Biden for CNN has gone along with the “cheap fakes” narrative, UNTIL just a few weeks ago. Tapper has marching orders from someone very high up. He is now reporting “objectively” about Biden’s decline. As Tapper and CNN turn so too will the rest of the media.
Sorry for the book but thank you for patience to read it all.
Well Biden beat Trump in both debates in 2020, so he can’t have been that bad then, now can he.
@@keithlillis7962 Actually no. Who won a debate is purely subject to one’s own opinion and political views. While Biden from 2020 was significantly better than now, the beginning of his decline was still hugely evident especially compared to Biden running as VP with Obama in 2008 and 2012. I think Biden was actually already beginning to slip up. It is just HIGHLY unusual that a sitting VP does not run and receive the nomination for President. Bush 41 after Reagan, Al Gore after Clinton. Biden was set to retire. However, the top brass dems did not prepare anyone else to lead them. Hillary jumped in the mix. I think there are 2 things that hurt her more than anything else.
1. It was discovered that her and DNC chairwoman had conspired a plan to block Bernie Sanders. That really did make a lot of people on the left extremely angry. 2. She was getting debate questions ahead of time from the DNC. There are millions of middle of the road voters that would still see that as cheating and I think that hurt her on voting day.
As for Trumps performance this last week, the left says he lost, the right says he won. I myself think it was weak. There is plenty wrong in Biden’s administration to attack his policies and appointments of bad personnel. Trump just cannot stop himself from repeating certain phrases too many times wasting valuable debate time. He should have stated his case of Biden bad policy, refer to his own record, then make the case how he would be the better choice now. He just could not resist getting in the personal digs and getting into a toddler level tit for tat about who plays better golf.
@@laforge001 I find your comment very interesting and well thought through, however, I personally believe that Trump and Project 2025 are a real threat to American democracy and especially after the Supreme Court’s latest ruling. Below is the actual text from Justice Thomas: “First, with respect to any criminal conduct relating to a President’s “core constitutional powers”—those subjects
“within his ‘conclusive and preclusive’ constitutional authority”—the President is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. See ante, at 6, 8.
Second, expanding outward from this “core,” regarding all other “acts
within the outer perimeter of [the President’s] official responsibility,” the President is entitled to “at least a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution.” Ante, at 14.
As now, even the President’s motives cannot be challenged in is ‘core’ duties, The US now only relies on the honesty and good faith of a President. Something I believe Trump is devoid of.
Hes been like this since day 1 they just wouldn’t let him out …
Useful for Obama to use him to destroy America
Well Biden beat Trump in both debates in 2020, so he can’t have been that bad then, now can he.
and Trump still lost and will lose again
And Trump? Compulsive liar, convicted felon, fraud, rapist who attempted a coup and you have the gaul to push your treachery in public- gtfo.
What’s mind-boggling is that it had to take a debate for the Americans to notice that Joe Biden is not fit for him to take another 4 years as president.
can’t even do a backflip. Get this guy out
Correction – not for the Americans but the Democrat voters
Like the Chinese said the lid has blown off the pot!
Can’t cover it anymore 😢
@@AnotherMartinez Democrat voters never particularly liked Biden or Harris either. So I don’t really get how he got to be front runner.
@jk21nola91 – That what China said when they couldn’t cover up Covid anymore?
Nah! Keep the old dodderer in place ~ Trump will walk it.
just like in 2020 right?
Biden is running against a dementia-suffering (like his father), lying, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, aspiring dictator Trump. the US is staring the end of democracy in the face with Trump and nobody seems to talk about that.
Never interrupt your enemies when they make a mistake. Napoleon.
Trump must be stopped to save us all.
@@simony2801 from what? Funny memes??
Why is the media surprised? he’s been like this for years.
The innocent surprise on the face of the BBC, is beyond comedic. They really don’t listen every carefully. Cr&p “journalists”
Yea that’s bullshit – he’s been fine when he kicked trump out of the WH
It has got progressively worse though all you need to do is put his debates from 4 years ago and current one side by side.
I’m an independent voter, never been affiliated with a party, and I despise the two party system. Watching a party implode like this is absolute comedy gold right now
Good for you. It’s a very corrupt, sick system. Choosing dumb or dumber, bad or worse. Pathetic. Glad I fled to europe. 🙂
You think this is an implosion?
@@pbfoleyIt is indeed.
You won’t think it’s so funny if Trump gets in and pulls out of NATO and allows Putin to win in Ukraine and continue his ambitions of conquest through Europe.
It’s no comedy, and I’m not even American.
The establishment set this up to replace him.
These talking heads told us he was fine during the course of 4 years now they act surprised.
The talking heads are a cancer.
To balance and protect our freedom and Democracy, President Joe Biden has to balance the Supreme Court with Honest and Good Men and Women, for us and the World…
@@user-hu9os4ik2p Is that a joke?
what you even talking about man?? the “establishment” is the left wing that propped him up. idiot.
he was fine, he has accomplished more than any other US president in history. What is a surprise is that nobody is asking Trump, the convicted felon, to get out of Americas space
The reason why they had 20 candidates in the 2020 Democratic primaries was to make sure the Bernie Sanders vote would be split….The 2020 Democratic primaries wasn’t about stopping Donald Trump is was about stopping Bernie Sanders….Joe Biden was chosen the 2020 Democratic candidate as far back as December 2017…Kamala Harris was chosen V.P. in 2019…
100% true
Yes. Yes. Straight talking positive inclined gentleman. Now do anything but that old horrible woman with lots of cobwebs in her resume. Kamala or Bernie, if Aipac would allow, will do
Make him step aside without telling him! He won’t notice! lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Been a potato for years, the BBC just didn’t cover it.
A potato beat Donald Trump! LOL, sit down.
@@DS_P8 Over half of the US population don’t believe that to be the case.
@@jonnsonsam LOL as if belief matters… it’s called facts and data. You’re beyond stupid.
Horrible and unkind😮
you are not talking facts. Look at the US economy, infrastructure bill that nobody but him was able to get passed. Trump, a convicted felon, needs to go to prison, not into the Oval Office
The thing is at that age things can go wrong QUICK. My grandad was up a ladder helping a neighbour paint a house at 73 and was generally in very good health for his age. 6 months later he had lost most of his mental faculties stopped eating, and drinking properly and was withering away 9 months after painting the neighbours house he was dead. When I said to him “look grandad you need to eat, you were healthy not that long ago painting that house”. The answer I would always get was “That was years ago”.
