are called on the president to step aside after his disastrous debate performance last month. jonathan, while there's a political scientist and professor at the university of north carolina chapel hill earlier, i asked him whether by it and we'll be able to get back support from dissenters in his party. or what president biden has gone for him is he is the presumptive nominee, not to mention the setting. presently united states is 199 percent of the delegates to the upcoming democratic national convention. and it's going to be very difficult to unseat him from the nomination if he does not want to be on, say that. on the other hand, if the news coverage in the united states focus is almost exclusively on his part on his cognitive capacity over the next several weeks. and it's gonna create what i

think will be an essentially untenable situation for his re election camp. now jonathan bite and also told critics today in an interview, quote, if you don't like me, challenged me at the democratic convention. do you think that that could really happen? or it's going to be very difficult to manage the other side of a 2nd ago. 99 percent of the delegates who will be going to the democratic convention next month in chicago. our pledge to president biden, that's not a legally binding plan which, but those delegates are generally buying and loyalists. and so i think one by and says, try to challenge me, it's a convention. he's saying now knowing that without his consent, there really isn't a realistic path to replacing him as phenomena. now one of the things that binds been arguing here is that his critics within the party are a few weeks, but that the regular voters and the party already picked him as their candidate.

how true is that as well? i think there is some truth to it. i mean, it is true that several 1000000 democrats in primaries throughout the country. this spring voted for president biden. and now regard, he definitely has the imprimatur of democratic legitimacy on his side. on the other hand, i think the appalling at least suggests that there is tremendous ambivalence, even among democratic voters. let alone republic, internet and independent voters about whether biden is fitted to serve another term in office. the most recent call that i saw within the last few days, so that 72 percent of respondents thought barton was too old to run. one configure for if that's unfair or not. but that's not just about the way it's that's a significant portion of the electorate that has misgivings about biden's fitness

to continue in office for another. while under there hasn't been a, it's sort of an open race and this cycle against other strong democratic candidates has their, i know there has and then you know, the, i think this is part of the problem that it's almost too late to make a change, a minute, obviously a by them have decided several months ago that he wasn't going to run for a 2nd term. something he said in 2020, that he would consider seriously just being a one term president. the democrats could have had an open primary and a serious contrast to replace them. and as i said, were now at the point where it's probably too late for that. and among the things that means is that they fight and were to step down or give up the nomination, it would very likely be his car and vice president and ticket made a. com or harris or would replace them because i just don't think there's time for

a meaningful democratic small the democratic process to replace bite and i'm gonna check. okay, jonathan, i just want to play a clip of 1st lady joe biden. she was in north carolina today. campaigning for her husband. let's take a listen for all this, talk out there about this raise. joe has made it clear that he's all in the decision that he's made. and john, as he has always supported my career, i am all in to now jonathan, there's been a lot of talk about the 1st lady's role in this. how significant is she in keeping the bite and campaign going at this point? as i think she's vital, i mean, i think from every thing we know by then pays very close attention to his immediate family and their opinions and perspective and none more than his wife. and so

i think as long as she is fully in his corner and believes that he can do the job of running another campaign unbecoming being re elected president, it's going to be hard to see how we get a different outcome. i will say that the fact of divide and people including joe right now are saying she's all land. doesn't necessarily tell us entirely what's happening behind the scenes. i mean, you know, they are, of course, going to say what they're saying public right now, until the moment i makes the decision because they know that any wavering will be, see the feeding frenzy that's already going on. so i would expect this from them no matter what they're thinking internally, but it certainly does same right now that they are committed to staying in the race . jonathan, while it thank you so much,

we're gonna have to leave it there. thanks so much for your insights. and hear some more stories making news around the world. russian president vladimir putin has welcome to india's prime minister and the render emoji at his suburban residence near moscow for an informal dinner. and he has to become a key trading partner and fire of russian oil. since the west increased sanctions on the kremlin, the 2 leaders are due to hold the official talks on tuesday. almost 3000000 homes and businesses in texas have been left without power after storm barrow made a landfall in the united states. officials say it could take days to restore electricity. at least 3 people in the us were killed by the storm that swept through the caribbean and mexico. last week. a judge has ruled that alec baldwin's role as a producer on the movie rust is irrelevant to in his manslaughter trial. then 2021
