The Democrat sounded tired and hoarse, often stumbled over his words and on one occasion completely lost his train of thought and disappeared into silence, prompting moderator Jake Tapper to dive in and save him.
Although Biden was combative and not afraid to criticize Trump, it became painfully clear during the debate that he was simply not up to the task of taking on his confident and smooth Republican rival.
Biden’s performance during the debate was heavily criticized by members of his own camp. Many Democrats were concerned about the incumbent president’s lack of ability and called for him to be replaced by another candidate.
Biden’s party donors have branded his performance as “the worst in history.”
During the torturous 90-minute debate, the president often lost his train of thought, stopped mid-sentence and mixed up topics, leading to a cacophony of calls from politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle to unseat Biden. to act.
One donor told POLITICO that his performance was “so bad that no one will pay attention to Trump’s lies,” and that “Biden should drop out.” No doubt about it.’
A senior Democratic strategist said: “Biden is about to face a crescendo of calls to step aside. Parties are there to win – this man on stage with Trump cannot win,” according to a scathing interview with the New York Times.
Biden’s debate performance drew heavy criticism from members of his own camp, with many Democrats concerned about the display of the incumbent president’s failings and calling for him to be replaced by another candidate.
The president was apparently hungry after expending his limited mental energy in the stands and then stopped at the fast food restaurant to grab a bite to eat with Jill, only to be confronted by customers about his sad performance.
And former Republican campaign strategist and now Democrat Steve Schmidt said, “Biden lost the country tonight and he’s not going to get it back. If Trump is a threat and democracy is at stake, Biden needs to step aside.”
During the debate, Trump could be seen contorting his face in shock and ridicule at Biden’s confused ramblings and frequent blunders in the debate. At one point he said to millions of Americans watching at home, “I really don’t know what he means.” [Biden] just said. He is not fit to be president. You know that and I know that.’
As the debate drew to a close, shocking footage emerged from behind the scenes showing Biden barely leaving the stage, holding his wife Jill’s hand as he gingerly walked down a set of small steps.
Jill later congratulated him in a painful scene reminiscent of a mother coddling her young child.
“You answered every question correctly, Joe – you did such a great job answering every question. You knew all the facts!” she said in an almost condescending tone.
The president apparently felt hungry after expending his limited mental energy in the stands and then stopped at the fast food restaurant to grab a bite to eat with Jill, only to be confronted by customers about his sad performance.
“Some are concerned that you are not suitable for the job… are you concerned about your own performance?” one customer asked.
The president bit back: “Well… it’s hard to debate a liar,” claiming his Republican opponent advanced a series of falsehoods and stated that he believed he had performed “well.”
But he was powerless to distract from the reality of his performance — something Trump’s team has gleefully mocked, by all Biden’s mumbling and rambling in a video titled, “Needless to say, the meds didn’t work.”
