President Joe Biden delivered a halting performance in Thursday's debate with former President Donald Trump -- raising new questions about his future in an event largely viewed as a test of the two candidates' fitness for office.
"We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do, child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the -- with the COVID, excuse me -- dealing with everything we have to do with, look ... we finally beat Medicare," Biden said, appearing to lose his train of thought at the end of his answer.
Biden appeared to pick up steam as the debate dragged on, dubbing Trump a "convicted felon" and mixing it up over their records, but the president's performance was less energetic than that of his opponent.Biden's team quickly worked to spin is performance, seemingly recognizing that he likely did not present himself a Democrats had hoped.
"I don't care, I'm going to stick with Joe Biden," former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile said on ABC News Live.
"Joe Biden on the other hand showed exactly why he deserves to be fired," they said. "Despite taking a week-long vacation at Camp David to prepare for the debate, Biden was unable to defend his disastrous record on the economy and the border."Thursday's debate had novel rules that were largely successful in imposing a cleaner debate than in the past.
