Following President Biden’s debate against former President Donald Trump on Thursday evening, First Lady Jill Biden congratulated her husband on his performance at a post-debate ceremony. Despite his wife’s support, there is almost unanimous bipartisan agreement, even from left-leaning news networks such as CNN, that President Biden delivered an abysmal performance.
In a post-debate ceremony, Jill Biden praised her husband, stating, “Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the facts,” the First Lady said as the crowd cheered. She then asked the crowd, “And what did Trump do?” to which everyone responded, “Lied!”
Meanwhile, nearly all the liberal commentators across mainstream networks, which conservatives have always criticized for propping up the president, agree that Biden undoubtedly lost the debate while pointing out the implications of his conduct.
For example, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace addressed widespread commentary that the top-ranking Democrats are actively discussing if it is feasible to replace President Biden with a more viable candidate that would be more capable of defeating former President Donald Trump.
“It is the job of a campaign to take the hit, right? I mean, it is the job of the campaign to take the blame, and that is a better scenario than it being the candidate is, you know? I mean, you can’t change the candidate, but you can. I mean, there were people talking tonight about how that process works, and that conversation is live and active at the highest levels of the Democratic Party,” she said.
CNN host John King expressed that Biden’s performance during the debate was detrimentally “game-changing” and Democrats are now in an “aggressive panic.” King echoed a similar sentiment to Wallace, where he claimed prominent Democrats, including strategists and elected officials, are actively devising potential plans that could involve replacing President Biden.
King said during a CNN post-debate panel of commentators, “This was a game changing debate in the sense that right now, as we speak, there is a deep, a wide and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party. It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now. It involves party strategists. It involves elected officials. It involves fundraisers, and they’re having conversations about the President’s performance, which they think was dismal, which they think will hurt other people down the party, in the ticket, and they’re having conversations about what they should do about it. Some of those conversations include, should we go to the White House and ask the president step aside?” Watch Jill Biden’s praise of Joe below:
Throughout Biden’s presidency, many Americans have expressed concerns about President Biden’s mental and physical health amid continual signs of deterioration, evidenced by numerous gaffes and public slip-ups during his public engagements.
The Biden administration has persistently downplayed these claims toward Biden, often suggesting they were the result of Republicans editing video clips or taking them out of context. For example, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently slammed conservatives for touting “cheap fakes” of President Biden to intentionally make him look bad. However, Biden’s recent showing on the debate stage is difficult to defend.
