President Joe Biden’s debate performance sparked concerns about his physical and mental well-being, as he struggled to enunciate and maintain a clear tone throughout the event. The 81-year-old president’s weak, raspy voice was evident from the start, as he repeatedly tripped over his words and lost his train of thought. In one notable moment, Biden ended a meandering statement by saying, “We finally beat Medicare,” before moderators interrupted him and transitioned to the next topic. But not before Trump retorted, “Well, he’s right. He did beat Medicare – he beat it to death and he’s destroying Medicare!”
Despite warming up as the debate progressed, Biden failed to land a decisive blow against his opponent. Donald Trump, meanwhile, seized on Biden’s struggles, saying at one point, “I don’t know if he knows what he just said about the border.” Trump’s confidence was bolstered by Biden’s physical limitations, which he exploited with precision.
The Biden campaign had pinned high hopes on the debate, hoping it would reverse the president’s declining poll numbers and alleviate concerns about his age and mental acuity. However, the opposite occurred, with many Democrats expressing despair and frustration at Biden’s performance.
According to a Biden aide, the president’s hoarseness was attributed to a cold, but the damage had already been done. The debate was seen as a critical moment in the election, and Biden’s performance only reinforced the narrative about his age and frailty. The Republican Party, meanwhile, was quick to seize on the opportunity, with one strategist predicting that Biden’s performance would be a “nail in the political coffin.”
We are with you, Mr. Trump, we know that you will have a successful debate, cheer up and go ahead, we trust in you👍👌👏🌐
