Following the disastrous presidential debate last week, many observers were left questioning Joe Biden’s competence as he stumbled through responses and appeared confused on stage. Calls from liberal media figures and left-leaning politicians for him to step aside in favor of a different candidate have been growing, as reported by Fox News.
In stark contrast, President Trump, after what he deemed a dominant performance on the debate stage, expressed confidence in his own abilities and the weakness of his opponent. Trump’s campaign boldly declared his debate showing as the greatest in history and emphasized Biden’s apparent incompetence, suggesting he is unfit for both the debate stage and the presidency.

When pressed about the possibility of Biden being replaced as the Democratic nominee, Trump dismissed the notion, asserting that no alternative candidate could have fared any better. Despite concerns from Democrats about Biden’s ability to secure another term, Trump remained steadfast in his belief that Biden will lead the ticket in November.
Former President Barack Obama, seemingly supportive of Biden in a public tweet, was reportedly expressing doubts about Biden’s chances in private conversations, according to Tucker Carlson. The conflicting messages from these two influential figures further muddy the waters surrounding Biden’s future and the Democratic Party’s prospects in the upcoming election.
As the fallout from the debate continues to linger, it remains to be seen how Biden will navigate the challenges ahead. With both political allies and adversaries weighing in on his performance, the road to the November election appears increasingly rocky for the former vice president.
