President Joe Biden will sit down with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Friday for a televised interview while his campaign remains in damage-control mode following last week’s botched presidential debate.
This will be the president’s second interview with the ABC News anchor, adding to his short list of televised interviews since taking office. Biden currently holds the record for the fewest press conferences and media interviews held by presidents in over 40 years.
News of the interview came just days after Biden struggled on stage at the first presidential debate with former President Donald Trump, often stumbling over his words and giving confusing responses. The 81-year-old has been open about his history of struggling with a speech impediment as a child and largely overcoming it into adulthood.
The upcoming interview may be Biden’s redemption for his performance last week. Here’s a look at the president’s infrequent TV appearances before Friday’s interview.
