President Joe Biden, who has been facing criticism and doubts about his capabilities, has issued an apology for his lackluster performance during the recent debate. He attributed his underwhelming display to his busy schedule and extensive travels abroad.
The 81-year-old acknowledged that his decision to travel around the world multiple times before the debate in Atlanta was not a smart one. He admitted that he did not listen to his staff's advice and joked that he almost fell asleep on stage. However, he clarified that this was not an excuse, but rather an explanation for his subpar performance.
Some of his advisors had previously mentioned that he was suffering from a cold during the debate. It is unclear if Biden was referring to falling asleep during the Democrat fundraisers he attended after the debate. These events do not allow cameras, and the media relies on written pool reports. Biden has, in the past, made candid and unexpected remarks at fundraisers.
In the weeks leading up to the debate, President Biden had traveled to France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day and then attended the Group of Seven Summit in Italy. He then returned to the United States for a fundraiser in Los Angeles before spending some time at Camp David in Maryland to prepare for the debate.
Despite his apology, there are concerns that President Biden's performance may have a negative impact on the upcoming US election. Democrats fear that if he continues to underperform, it could jeopardize their chances in the House and Senate races. However, Biden's absence at the NATO summit was recently defended by Labor leader Anthony Albanese, who stated that it was due to the President's busy schedule and not a lack of interest or commitment.
In conclusion, President Joe Biden has apologized for his lackluster performance during the recent debate, citing his extensive travels as the cause. While his advisors claim he had a cold during the debate, some speculate that he may have fallen asleep during post-debate fundraisers. Despite concerns about his capabilities, Biden has been busy with international trips and fundraisers, showing his commitment to his role as President.
