In a recent interview with ABC, US President Joe Biden addressed his lackluster performance in last week's debate, acknowledging that he did not meet his own expectations and taking full responsibility for it. He explained that he was feeling under the weather and unwell before the debate, which may have impacted his performance.
When asked if his poor showing was a sign of a more serious condition, Biden dismissed the concern and assured that it was just a bad night for him. He elaborated on his physical state, revealing that he had been feeling sick and even asked his doctors to do a COVID test, but it turned out to be just a bad cold.
This interview was the first time Biden had appeared on television since the debate, which was a crucial moment for his political future. Many Democrats have expressed concerns about his candidacy, including lawmakers, donors, and voters. However, Biden shared that he has not watched a replay of his performance and did not dwell on it.
When asked if he knew during the debate that things were not going well for him, Biden admitted that he did realize it, but he did not blame anyone else for it. He took full responsibility for his actions, stating that it was nobody's fault but his own.
During the interview, Biden also went on a tangent about his preparation for the debate, mentioning how he usually prepares for meetings with foreign leaders and the National Security Council. He also brought up a New York Times poll that showed him down 10 points before the debate, but he did not seem to be concerned about it. Instead, he shifted the focus to his opponent's lies, stating that he lied 28 times during the debate.
When pressed further about his performance, Biden simply stated that he was just having a bad night. Despite his disappointing showing, he continued to take responsibility and did not make any excuses for it.
