Unfortunately, his attempts at damage control aren’t doing much to ease those worries.
Stephanopoulos was determined to hit hard, even suggesting the president is less popular than his predecessor.
Biden pointed to the rally he’d just held in Madison, Wisconsin: “You saw it today.

How many people draw crowds like I did today?
You find anyone more enthusiastic than we did today?”
Stephanopoulos shot back, “I don’t think you want to play the crowd game.

Donald Trump can draw big crowds there’s no question about that.”
(In his ongoingbeef with Bruce Springsteen, Trumphas claimed he gets a bigger audience than The Boss.)
Trump may have gotten his wish.
Every day I have that test.
You know, not only am I campaigning, but I’m running the world."
Similarly, Biden claimed he’d already undergone a recent medical evaluation and would not agree to another.
He also flatly denied he has an approval rating of just 36%, as Stephanopoulos cited.
