CNN’s presidential debate will forever be remembered as a disastrous night for President Joe Biden.
The presumptive Democratic nominee had a low bar after years of criticism over his declining physical and mental ability. Despite this, it’s fair to say he still fell short of barely-existent expectations.
Even the Democrat-friendly CNN were critical of Biden’s performance, with commentators in the post-debate analysis referencing the DNC’s internal ‘panic’. One, Erin Burnett, was particularly skeptical of the President given that he knew “every one of these questions is coming”, implying that he had been given the questions beforehand.
“He goes through six days of preparation, a camp day, more than that. And they know the rules,” Burnett added. “He practices with the mics. He knows every one of these questions is coming, and yet he couldn’t fill the time.”

The clip prompted reaction from many at the unsurprising bias towards Biden.
Another responded how Biden’s performance demonstrated a rare moment of national unity.
Questions were also raised as to whether the Democrats were seeking to replace Biden in time for November’s election.
Whether Thursday’s debate has ultimately changed the election result will always remain a mystery. That said, if Trump was predicted to win, he’s almost certain to now.
Biden had one job: to appear competent – and he couldn’t even keep up a façade for an hour and a half.
