Presidential Debate News

Debate,Joe Biden,Donald Trump

One candidate stumbled, the other repeatedly lied. John Dickerson considers the next steps in an election in which President Biden has declared democracy itself is on the ballot.

One of the problems with presidential debate s is they never really get at the complexity of the kinds of decisions presidents actually have to make in office.But Joe Biden 's performance in the first debate now presents him with a presidential-level choice: to stay in the race, or drop out. Like all presidential decisions, there is no clear path, and the decision must be made by one solitary person.

On the other hand, voters tell pollsters Biden's age does concern them. The debate, where the president meandered and wandered, did not dispel that issue. Leaving the race would, putting more attention on the existential danger Biden says Trump represents. Trump's debate answers give evidence to Biden's case, lying with abandon on topics big and small.
