All undecided voters in a U.S. swing states focus group hosted by pollster Frank Luntz said President Biden should be replaced as the Democratic nominee after watching his first presidential debate against former President Trump.
Biden did alright imo. People keep disregarding the substance of his arguments over his age.
Speaking as someone who thinks that much of the doomerism around the debate is premature…
These debates aren’t about substance. They’re about optics. And Biden didn’t put on a good show last night. The only saving grace is that he was up against Trump.
Biden did well after 930pm.
I bet most people only watched the first 30 minutes. In fact, I bet most people went into their phones and stopped listening full-time within 10 minutes.
Biden was very bad at the start. Biden figured out the flow of things by 10pm but I think that was too late.
Put last nights Biden up against any option from the previous primaries. Even Harris. He looked and responded exceptionally poor last night and anyone else would have been a better option.
