Over the weekend, prominent Democrats voiced their support for the president while Biden's family pushed for him to stay in the race. CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes has more.

    His family OBVIOUSLY doesn't care for his well being!!!
  • HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Yes, please, stay in the race. Let's have another debate. Pure comedy gold.
  • @devosegal
    What's truly frightening? Is that that horrendous debate performance only changed people's opinion of his mental fitness by seven percent.... I know that's statistically significant, but it should be 100% of voters willing to admit that this is B. S
  • @breal7277
    Do they NOT read the news? Did they NOT see the debate? Do they NOT care for the country?
  • 5:10 "When you get knocked down ..." He fell on his own. He didn't get knocked down.

    At what point is this considered elder abuse?

    It is not about his family It is about Americans
  • @jackmaher4466
    Unbelievable. You only showed clips of him when he spoke clearly. In that speech he was unintelligible quite a bit. Are you going to go on pretending he is not mentally compromised. He is not going to get better. This is him. Have you no shame?
  • @cjmhall
    Don't believe your lying eyes and ears. Everything is fine.
  • @scott2228
    So his family puts office connections over his health.

    The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released Monday, which was conducted after the debate, showed Trump leading Biden by 6 percentage points in a head-to-head match-up, 47 percent to 41 percent, with 12 percent undecided. 😂

    Family? As in Hunter and Jill? Let’s Stop the gaslighting!!!!!!He needs to release those delegates. Katie porter, Whitmer, Raskin. Anybody could replace him. They obviously don’t care if Trump wins.
