On July 6, 2024, President Biden faced pressure to retire to secure his candidacy. In an interview with ABC, he mentioned undergoing cognitive tests daily to emphasize his good health. This marks Biden's 128th media interview since taking office, the lowest among modern American presidents. Despite previous concerns, he seeks to bridge the gap with the media, including recent broadcast and TV interviews. Amidst calls to retire, Biden defended his performance in the recent debate, attributing any issues to cold symptoms and jet lag. His team aims to improve communication with the media to address the retirement crisis. Observers scrutinize Biden's actions leading up to the Democratic National Convention in mid-August, expressing doubts about his cognitive abilities and potential to serve a second term until age 86.
