The 22-minute prime-time special with ABC was aired in full — “no cuts, no edits, we have not touched it,” interviewer George Stephanopoulos said.
I’ll vote for Biden for his admin’s policies. I have zero in common with Trump and Republican policies. But I’d be much more excited to vote for Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or Josh Shapiro.
Porque no Katie Porter?
Sure, I’d go with Katie Porter.
I’m surprised people keep mentioning Gavin. As a Californian, it’s always been glaringly obvious that Gavin got gissues.
I think his biggest issue is that he can come off as too “California.” Some people see that as elitist.
If that is indeed his biggest issue, then I think he’d be a great president. Very small issue compared to what Trump is carrying around and none of his voters seem to care.
My main takeaway is that we’re probably fucked.

22 minutes? Is he not capable of an hour long interview?
Seriously, you think this was a stamina problem and not an editorial choice? Come on
Geuninely I am concerned the Biden campaign limited the time for the interview to hide any gaffes. Its already emerged he’s had multiple “episodes” over the last 6 months, and today its been revealed he’s seen a Parkinson’s expert neurologist 8 times in the past year. Yet the biden campaign have aggressively and condescendingly dismissed all concerns over Biden over the same period.
Also in my country, the UK, political interviews are often substantial - 1 hour is not uncommon (often edited down) and even during our election we had full full unedited 30 min live interviews for each of the main party leaders.
Maybe 22mins is just because American TV is so dysfunctional? But given how the biden campaign have been so dismissive of concerns and then the debate has revealed them in a cold hard light, then yes I’m suspicious. There is little trust left after what we saw in the debates. The white house has been telling bare faced lies when directly asked about Bidens health on multiple occasions.
Biden has been a good president, but he is not a good candidate for this election. This issue is so damaging that he’s behind Trump in the polls despite trump being a convicted felon. And worse, no one is holding Trump to account because biden is a distraction. Trump said a lot of crazy things in the debate but all people remember is Biden’s performance.
But do you know that? Or just are handwringing over something you are worried about and then arguing that is the case?
It seemed to me a normal, not suspicious, length of time for an interview on ABC news
22 minutes is around the time of a 30 minute TV block after ads.
It’s ABC which is a commercial TV channel, despite its name, so I’m sure there were plenty of ads at least at both ends of the interview.
Polls are shit. Nearly every single poll had Hillary winning in 2016. How did that go? 😆😂😭

We’ll she won the popular vote so I wouldn’t say they were all wrong.
Yes, the electoral college is a useless relic at this point, used by Republicans to fuck over the populous. We are not on horseback anymore.
There is no reason a person’s vote in Wyoming should be worth more than a person’s vote in California. The electoral college needs to be eradicated.
Unfortunately, it’s the system we still have and the popular vote couldn’t help us from 8 years of GWB and 4 from Diaper Don.
Fun fact: if you exclude 2004 in which W Bush was an incumbent war time president, no Republican has won the popular vote since 1988.
Exactly. And they know this. The demographics are dead set against Republicans ever winning another popular vote with their shit policies— which only benefit millionaires and billionaires.
Trump will lose the popular vote again, as well. Hence the march to fascism, the capture of the state legislatures, etc. Even if/when Biden wins, there will be fuckery. January 6 was a dry run for the Republicans to work out the pesky wrinkles of democracy.
