A Biden campaign staffer allegedly tried to halt interviews that were critical of the president, saying, "Stop it here."
The staffer allegedly stated that she was merely performing her duties.
Over the weekend, a Biden campaign staffer allegedly requested that voters conclude their interviews with a New York Times reporter following negative remarks about President Biden.
A Nevada Biden campaign staffer followed Simon Levien, a NYT politics fellow, at a Las Vegas rally for Vice President Kamala Harris and asked voters to "end their interviews" when their comments became critical of Biden.
Stephen Stubbs, an undecided voter, expressed his desire for Biden to step aside and let Harris be the presidential nominee. However, a staffer interrupted, stating that it was a Biden event and asked if it was okay.
He added on Twitter that he asked the staffer why she interrupted the interviews, and she replied, saying she was "just doing her job."
The CNN Presidential Debate between Biden and former President Trump took place on Thursday, and the incident occurred on Friday.
Since his debate performance, Biden has faced criticism and calls to step aside before the 2024 election.
Both the New York Times and Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial boards urged the president to abandon his plans to run for president in 2024.
The Times' editorial board wrote that at Thursday's debate, the president had to convince the American public that he was capable of handling the demands of the office he was seeking to hold for another term. However, voters could not ignore what was evident: Mr. Biden was not the same man he was four years ago.
"Mr. Biden has been a great public servant as president. He has led the nation to prosperity and tackled long-term challenges. However, he must now announce that he will not seek re-election to allow the wounds from Mr. Trump's presidency to fully heal."
The Biden campaign has stated to Planet Chronicle that the president has no intention of withdrawing from the race and remains dedicated to participating in a second debate in September.
Biden admitted his subpar debate showing on Friday during a rally in North Carolina, stating, "I'm not a young man."
"I used to walk, talk, and debate more easily, but I know what I know: I know how to tell the truth and get things done. I also know what millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up."
