US President Joe Biden's shaky performance against Republican rival Donald Trump on Thursday (June 27) rattled Democrats and prompted some strategists to ask whether their party should take the unprecedented step of replacing him as their candidate.

The first presidential debate between US President Joe Biden and former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is projected on a screen projector during a watch party hosted by the Michigan Conservative Coalition in Novi, Michigan, US, June 27, 2024.

His voice hoarse from what White House officials told reporters was a cold, Biden hurried through some of his talking points on the debate stage, stumbled over some answers and trailed off during others. "I expect fundraising to dry up. Money follows enthusiasm," the fundraiser said. "How can anyone with a straight face say 'Donate to elect Joe'"

Trump jabbed Biden for being incoherent, saying at one point: "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said." Biden campaign officials sought to put on a brave face, saying voters should focus on the substance of the debate.
