I have some very, very big concerns about Biden's re-election chances and frankly, while he should address campaign concerns, it is time for him to suspend his campaign and the Democratic Party needs to have a viable candidate.

It’s interesting that this is happening right during the Republican National Convention; seems like a calculated attempt to divert attention rather than a genuine effort to engage with the public's concerns. I just hope Lester Holt actually presses him on the issues and doesn't let it turn into a softball interview; the American people deserve to hear real answers, especially from a Libertarian viewpoint that values transparency and accountability in government.
