Last night's presidential debate was a bit of a train wreck for both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump .Well, that was painful. President Joe Biden spent about 90 minutes trying to sound coherent and not embarrass himself during thein Atlanta last night. His opponent, former president and convicted felon Donald Trump , spent a good chunk of his time on the debate stage lying, as he usually does.
Asked about his performance at an Atlanta Waffle House later last night, Biden said it's hard to debate a liar. Hard, but not impossible, and it's not as though the Democrats weren't aware of Trump's willingness to lie. You need to be on top of your game, though. It's an unkind word, but for much of the debate, the 81-year-old Biden often appeared doddering.
He tried to recover, starting to say, “We finally beat Medicare” before his time was up. Trump ran with it. “Well, he’s right, he did beat Medicare. He beat it to death, and he’s destroying Medicare,” Trump responded. Moments like this were plentiful last night. But we’re not sure what was more painful: Biden’s performance, Trump's lies or the utter lack of fact checking and pushback against both of the candidates' false statements and dodges.
There hasn’t been any public indication from the broader Democratic Party that this will happen. Some even came out to back Biden after the debate. Meanwhile, some Republicans, including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, promoted the idea that this was some big set-up by CNN and the Democrats to get Biden replaced. “So obvious this was a set up,” Patrick wrote on X. “I told a large Republican group tonight that this whole debate sham was a ploy to make it absolutely clear that Biden had to be replaced. Now, we’re watching it happen.”
