Despite growing calls for his replacement, President Biden enjoys unwavering support from liberal media figures and celebrities, who prioritize defeating former President Trump over the Democratic candidate's physical and mental fitness.
Liberal media figures and Hollywood elites have expressed unwavering loyalty to President Biden, dismissing concerns about his fitness for office and declaring they would vote for him regardless of his physical or mental state.
"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg exemplified this unwavering support, stating in a viral remark that she "doesn't care if he's pooped his pants" or "can't put a sentence together" as long as he can defeat Donald Trump. Goldberg acknowledged that Biden's performance in the second debate could potentially sway her loyalty, but she defended his poor performance in the June debate.

MSNBC host Joy Reid similarly expressed her unwavering support for Biden, claiming she would vote for him even if he were "in a coma" to prevent Trump from retaking the White House. Reid emphasized the paramount importance of keeping Trump out of office, regardless of Biden's personal qualities.
Actress Kathryn Hahn echoed these sentiments during a guest-hosting appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," stating that she would vote for Biden "even if he was a skeleton." Hahn, along with other celebrities, attended Biden's star-studded Los Angeles fundraiser in June, showcasing their continued support for his campaign.

Billionaire and "Shark Tank" investor Mark Cuban, a vocal critic of Trump, echoed these extreme expressions of loyalty, stating that he would vote for Biden "even on his deathbed." Cuban dismissed concerns about Biden's age and emphasized his prioritization of ethical leadership over other factors.
Despite Biden's halting performance in the June debate, Cuban reiterated his support, highlighting the president's ethical character as a key factor in his decision.

However, not all Biden supporters remain unwavering. Some celebrity backers and megadonors, such as "The Shining" author Stephen King, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, and screenwriter Damon Lindelof, have demanded a new candidate replace Biden as the Democratic nominee.
Lindelof, a self-described "lifelong Democrat," proposed imposing "economic sanctions" on the Democratic Party until the president is replaced on the 2024 ticket.

Despite these dissenters, Biden's loyalists remain steadfast in their support, prioritizing the defeat of Trump over other considerations. They believe that Biden's physical and mental fitness, while certainly concerning, are secondary to the perceived threat posed by Trump's return to the White House.
This unwavering loyalty underscores the deep political polarization in the United States, where partisan biases often overshadow rational analysis of candidates' qualifications and fitness for office.
