President Joe Biden will sit down for a televised interview with ABC News on Friday for his first televised interview since the debate.

President Joe Biden will give his first televised interview since last week’s presidential debate on ABC News on Friday.

The president’s poor performance in the debate led to politicians from both sides calling for him to withdraw from the race.

Biden will speak with “Good Morning America” and “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos for an interview. The first look will air on the Friday, July 5 edition of “World News Tonight with David Muir,” with segments set to air Saturday and Sunday on “Good Morning America.”

The longer interview will air on Sunday, July 7, on “This Week” and on Monday’s episode of “Good Morning America.”

Biden, 81, has faced criticism for his lopsided debate performance. Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett became the first House Democrat to call on Biden to withdraw the nomination on Tuesday.

Even though some are calling for him to resign, most Democrats still support Biden’s candidacy.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told MSNBC on Tuesday that the president had a “bad night,” but added: “He has judgment. He has strategic thinking and everything else.”

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who is running for re-election in Pennsylvania, expressed support for Biden on Monday afternoon when asked about the president’s performance in the debate, telling reporters he was confident Biden could win a strong re-election race and serve a second term.

“No, I’m not worried about that. Look, he had a bad night in the debate, but I think people know what’s at stake,” he said.
