According to sources, high-ranking members of the Democratic party are discussing the possibility of pressuring Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race after a lackluster performance in tonight's debate. From the very beginning, Biden seemed to struggle, with a soft and raspy voice and often incoherent answers. Despite this, he failed to deliver any significant blows to opponent Donald Trump, who himself made numerous inaccurate and bizarre claims.
In one instance, Biden lost his train of thought and gave a confusing response on the topic of illegal immigration. Trump quipped, "I'm not sure what he said there at the end. I don't think he knows either." Later, it was revealed that the president was battling a cold. As the debate continued, things became more personal, with Biden bringing up Trump's criminal record and Trump retaliating by mentioning Biden's son Hunter, who has a criminal record of his own.
The debate also turned to golf, with both candidates trading jabs about their abilities on the course. Trump boasted about his skills, while Biden challenged him to a driving contest and joked about Trump carrying his own golf bag. However, these heated exchanges likely did little to sway voters.
It's worth noting that this debate was held much earlier in the election season than usual, with neither candidate having officially secured their party's nomination. This has led to speculation that the Democratic party may consider replacing Biden at the convention, although such a move would be unprecedented. Former Obama cabinet member Julian Castro has criticized Biden's performance, saying he seemed unprepared and not strong enough to counter Trump's constant lies.
As for the impact on voters, it's difficult to say. This election is expected to be decided by the "double-haters" - those who dislike both candidates but will ultimately vote for one of them. While Biden may have appeared frail and Trump fixated on certain issues, neither candidate gave these voters a compelling reason to support them. Recent polling suggests that the race is currently too close to call, with Election Day still over a month away on November 5.
