Biden Admits He Fell Asleep During Trump Debate, Raising Concerns Over His Ability to Win election
In an admission that has raised concerns about his ability to mount a winning campaign, President Joe Biden admitted during a fundraiser in Virginia that he “fell asleep on stage” during his disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump last week. Biden, 81, blamed his exhaustion on a travel schedule that took him to France and Italy in the two weeks leading up to the confrontation.
Despite initial denials from White House officials that Biden’s cold was responsible for his poor performance, the president acknowledged that his extensive travel had contributed to his lackluster debate. This revelation comes as the Democratic Party expresses concerns about Biden’s ability to defeat Trump in November.
Some Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas, have called for Biden to drop out of the race altogether. However, Biden remains steadfast in his determination to stay in the race and defeat Trump, whom he believes poses a threat to democracy in the United States.
The debate was watched by millions of viewers and raised serious doubts among voters and Democratic activists about Biden’s capabilities. Despite previous denials from Biden and his advisors about age affecting his duties, this lackluster performance has fueled anxiety within the party. However, despite mounting concerns, Biden remains focused on staying in the race and emerging victorious in November.
