Nate Silver calls for Biden to resign after ‘incoherent’ comments in ABC interview
Pollster Nate Silver, the founder of ABC’s FiveThirtyEight, called for President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 White House race after making “incoherent comments” in his first postdebate interview Friday.
Earlier Friday, Silver wrote a column about whether a model could appropriately determine Biden’s chances of winning the election, as voters remain skeptical of his abilities more than a week after his poor debate performance.
Silver, who viewed Biden’s interview with ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos before it was aired publicly Friday evening, posted to social platform X with a change of tune.
“This is a pretty incoherent answer including a non-sequitur [complaining] about a New York Times poll, which he incorrectly claims had him down 10 points before the debate,” Silver wrote on X, sharing a clip of the interview. He added that The New York Times survey only had Biden down 3 or 4 points.
“I wimped out in today’s column and deleted a line saying he should formulate a plan to transition the presidency to [Vice President] Harris within 30-60 days, but I’m there now,” Silver said. “Something is clearly wrong here.”
He joins a growing list of people calling on the president to step aside and allow someone new to take on former President Trump.
“He doesn’t seem in command, and that’s an extremely hard sell when you’re Commander in Chief,” Silver said.
He shared a statistic that said 57 percent of people believe Biden will drop out. He said he thinks that number is low, and Democrats will apply “incredible amounts of pressure.”
