Following President Joe Biden's debate performance on Thursday night, Democrats are expressing despair and raising questions about his ability to remain the party's nominee. Biden's appearance on stage was marked by a soft, halting voice and a distant gaze, leading to struggles in articulating his thoughts and conceding ground on key issues like abortion where Democrats typically hold an advantage.
Almost immediately, Democrats recognized the severity of the situation. Some described Biden as incoherent and his performance as horrific. Concerns were raised about whether someone else should lead the Democratic ticket in the upcoming election.
