Some Democrats expressed disappointment about President Joe Biden’s performance in Thursday’s debate against former President Donald Trump—even suggesting he should step down as their 2024 nominee.  A lack of energy, a raspy voice, stuttering, and rambling answers to questions plagued the 81-year-old president, who faces widespread voter concerns about his age. Media figures reported that Democrat campaign operatives, strategists, and fundraisers considered the debate a blow to Biden’s chances in November.  Joy Reid reports on democratic sources responding to Biden’s debate performance.“The universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic.” pic.twitter.com/ExqEf2oPsx— MSNBC (@MSNBC) June 28, 2024 BREAKING: CNN panics immediately after the presidential debate, says Democrats are now figuring out how to replace Biden before the election.Holy s**t."Right now, it involves party strategists, it involves elected officials, it involves fundraisers, and they're having… pic.twitter.com/pfbsfzyHIF— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 28, 2024 NEW: 'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panic w/@Mdixon55 @jonallendc https://t.co/KO880aVZO4— Natasha Korecki (@natashakorecki) June 28, 2024 Axelrod on Biden's performance: "There was a sense of shock" "There will be a discussion about whether he should continue."— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 28, 2024 VERY well-connected Democratic source tells me – the house and Senate are the GOP’s for now-everyone is freaking out– he needs to go– but no way they replace him unless he agrees— Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) June 28, 2024 Some on the Left chose to speak for themselves about their lack of competence in candidate Biden.

Members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet should consider invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president, two sitting U.S. senators suggested. They said Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump raised questions about his ability to perform his office. “We’ve definitely entered 25th Amendment territory,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote on X. We’ve definitely entered 25th Amendment territory.— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) June 28, 2024 “If you think Democrats in Washington and across the country aren’t talking about the 25th Amendment right now, you’re crazy,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wrote. “It’s not a question of whether he should be on the ballot. That ship has sailed. It’s a question of whether he can serve as president right now.” If you think Democrats in Washington and across the country aren’t talking about the 25th amendment right now, you’re crazy. It’s not a question of whether he should be on the ballot. That ship has sailed. It’s a question of whether he can serve as President right now.— Rick Scott (@ScottforFlorida) June 28, 2024 The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, sets up a process by which the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet can notify the president pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, enabling the vice president to become acting president. Under the amendment, the president can submit a written declaration that no inability exists, at which time he will resume his office. Throughout the debate, Biden spoke with a raspy voice and made numerous verbal stumbles, including segments of rambling. ?What is going on here?

Harris dismissed concerns about Biden’s performance in the debate. “A lot of people who are fans and supporters of President Biden or who are Democrats or who are just worried about the prospect of Donald Trump returning to the presidency feel like this was not a strong performance tonight from President Biden,” MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow asked Harris. “I want to hear your assessment and how you respond to those critics.” “Well, it was a slow start, there’s no question about that, but I thought it was a strong finish,” the vice president responded. “What we know is that when you look at the two sides of the ledger, what we had in Joe Biden is someone who wanted to have a debate based on facts, based on truth and in Donald Trump we have what we have come to expect, which is someone who will push lies and distract from the reality of the damage he has created and continues to create in our country.” Harris said that Biden had done “historic work” and did not bring up the 25th Amendment. ?BREAKING: Kamala Harris dismisses concerns about Joe Biden's debate performance, and doesn't mention the 25th Amendment. pic.twitter.com/85DREWoZqJ— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) June 28, 2024 Former Sen.

“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence—and I don’t think he knows what he said either.” That line from former President Donald Trump on Thursday night pretty much sums up the first—and who knows, maybe the only—debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. I wrote not long ago that corporate media gaslighting about Biden’s vigor wouldn’t work because the American people can plainly see that Biden is in steep mental and physical health decline. That was on full display for all to see during the 90-minute, CNN-hosted debate Thursday night as an often barely audible Biden coughed, looked dazed, couldn’t finish sentences, muttered incoherently, and frequently lost his train of thought in what was almost certainly the worst presidential debate performance in the history of television. You don’t have to be a policy wonk or a constitutional scholar to see that the president isn’t well, and no amount of sophistry is going to change what the public can now see on full display. Well, OK, the Biden campaign and media allies did try to throw up one Hail Mary during the early stages of the debate. The excuse was that Biden was suffering from a “cold.” NEW: Two sources familiar with the situation say “President Biden has a cold.”— Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) June 28, 2024 It’s such a pathetic explanation for what we saw I don’t think even the most sycophantic, Pravda-esque media figures are going to make that part of their future messaging. Even notorious narrative fabricator Ben Rhodes gave in to reality. Telling people they didn't see what they saw is not the way to respond to this.— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) June 28, 2024 A cold might give you a scratchy voice, but it doesn’t make you sound or look like that. Biden had a week without public appearances to prepare for this debate, and this is apparently the best he could do. This part wasn’t shown on live TV, but here’s what Biden looked like walking off the CNN set. ?Zoomed in video of Jill Biden leading Joe off the debate stage.This is insane. pic.twitter.com/QJhkfetdWz— Greg Price (@greg_price11) June 28, 2024 Any suggestion that the president’s obvious signs of decline are based on “misinformation” or what White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calls “cheap fakes” has been thoroughly and unarguably debunked. So, what of the debate itself? You can read The Daily Signal fact-check here. CNN’s moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, weren’t terrible, even if clearly biased. They frequently cut off Biden when he began to ramble to keep him focused and on message, and often followed up with questions for Trump to keep him from responding. That really didn’t matter very much here. Sure, there were plenty of important issues that were discussed—from the open-border catastrophe to inflation to the erosion of global stability, even to the shambolic exit from Afghanistan. That’s not what people will remember from this debate. It often felt like just a CNN interview of Trump, rather than a confrontation between the two men supposedly in the arena. Biden’s performance was so catastrophic that while the debate was still going on, The New York Times and Politico were publishing pieces about Democrats panicking. The New York Times published a “this is a disaster” piece 30 minutes into the debate. pic.twitter.com/De5Bmh2liD— Brent Scher (@BrentScher) June 28, 2024 ‘Biden is toast — calling it now’: Biden stumbles, rambles in opening of debate https://t.co/5e34OjULBG— POLITICO (@politico) June 28, 2024 If you stayed tuned for the CNN commentary after the debate ended—which was mostly just a bunch of typical CNN blather about Trump being a bad, orange man—pretty much the entire panel called for Biden to be replaced at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket. (On MSNBC, it was much the same.)  Is that likely to happen? Who knows? It would be unprecedented to have a presidential nominee booted from the ticket so late in the game, but we live in strange times. What I do know is that it’s almost impossible to imagine Biden making it for another four years in office, let alone four months or so to November. And so, given Biden’s performance, there are a lot of questions for the American people to chew on. There’s no question now that the American people at least deserve to hear the audio of Biden’s interviews with special counsel Robert Hur that Attorney General Merrick Garland insists on withholding even under the threat of congressional censure. If Biden is this bad in public, who exactly is running the show in the White House? Put another way: Who is the puppet master for the sock puppet? There have been accusations that former President Barack Obama is running a sort of shadow presidency from his home in Washington. That certainly seems plausible. Are there people in the White House who want to keep Biden there because he’s easily manipulated and unable to make important decisions now? Is Biden really still calling all the shots? If so, then, God help us. There are even questions about what to do with a president who is no longer able to carry out the duties of his office.  And it’s not just the American people who saw Biden’s condition during the debate. Our enemies and rivals around the globe saw it, too. In a dangerous world—one of instant communication and rapidly moving events—we can’t afford to have a president who seems completely out of it when he has a “cold.” Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said on X that we should start thinking about the 25th Amendment, a constitutional mechanism to replace a president who is incapacitated. I’ve been saying this for a year — and that this has been part of the Left’s plan. Every American is about to become an expert in the 25th Amendment. https://t.co/vQYK2DXcRh— Kevin Roberts (@KevinRobertsTX) June 28, 2024 One way or another, after tonight, maybe we should be thinking less about Biden and more about who is going to replace him.

The liberal media was finally forced to admit that the senile president wasn’t wearing clothes following Thursday’s presidential debate hosted by CNN. As a member of a predominantly liberal/pro-Biden panel, Republican commentator Scott Jennings took them all to tack for trying to prop up President Biden’s campaign and lying to the American people about how cogent he obviously wasn’t. “When we came on before this debate, I said, I thought this candidacy was teetering. And everybody jumped on me,” he took aim at the panel. “Yes, we did. Yes, we did,” liberal activist Van Jones admitted. Declaring “the candidacy has fallen,” Jennings proclaimed that those who were forcing President Biden to run needed to answer for it. He also called out the liars who claimed up and down that there was nothing wrong with him: The candidacy has fallen. Okay? Van, I know you're speaking from your heart. I'm worried about the President we should pray for the President. I think his advisers, I think the White House, and I think his family have a lot of explaining to do to their party and to the American people. This night, one night was caused by and asked for by the Biden team. They wanted this night. And this is what we got. We've been told for weeks, weeks by Democrats who say, “Oh, in private meetings, I've seen Joe Biden do cartwheels and handstands while doing trigonometry while solving all the nation's problems. We now know that every single person who said that has been lying to the American people.     “Everything we've been told about his mental acuity by these Democrats has been a lie and everything we think we knew has been confirmed,” he shot back at Biden’s former campaign manager Kate Bedingfield when she tried to argue that some Republicans claimed it too. Jennings read a text from a “not terribly political” friend who was irate with Democrats: I got a text from a friend. She's not terribly political. She'd maxed out to Biden in the last election because she hates Donald Trump. She said to me, “I will never forgive the Democratic Party for this election.” “If the Democrats truly believed that he is an exit threat to democracy and that's not just some talking point, they will wake up in the morning and they will do something else because this is not sustainable,” he told them off. Even Jones was deflated over Biden’s performance. “I can walk you through how I’m supposed to see it and say it, but I just want to speak for my heart. I love that guy. That’s good man. He loves his country. He's doing the best that he can. But he had a test to meet tonight to restore confidence of the country and of the base. And he failed to do that,” he lamented.

And I think there's a lot of people who are going to want to see him consider taking a different course now, we're still far from our convention. And there is time for this party to figure out a different way forward, if he will allow us to do that but that was not what we needed from Joe Biden and his personally painful for a lot of people.

Less than a minute after the presidential debate concluded, the panel at MSNBC launched into a despondent, funereal analysis of President Joe Biden’s unexpectedly (at least for the MSNBC panel) brutal performance.  Watch as Joy Reid, who was gleefully hyping Biden in the pre-show, very quickly crashes back to Earth after the debate (click “expand” to view full transcript):     MSNBC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ANALYSIS 6/27/24 10:41 PM RACHEL MADDOW: Joy. JOY REID: I can relate to having a cold, I’ve been Covid tested and have a slight cold as well. I can understand not feeling well. And, you know, obviously Joe Biden comes in with certain deficits. He has a stutter. You know, he- it is more difficult for him to communicate for that reason. So there is a lot to mitigate the way that he speaks, and you can understand it, and we have observed him for a long time. That said, I, too, was on the phone throughout much of the debate with Obama world people, with Democrats, with people who are political operatives, with campaign operatives. My phone really never stopped buzzing throughout. And the universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic. The people who were texting with me were very concerned about President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak, and, I will just reiterate what I said earlier. President Biden had one job tonight. And it was one primary job. And yes, it was to litigate Donald Trump's, you know, criminality and all of those things. But he had to settle his own party. He needed to settle Democrats. Democrats always talk about the Democrats are bedwetters, Democrats are always panicking. Yes, Democrats are always panicking. They’re are always scared, right? They’re always thinking they're going to lose. Democrats are very pessimistic. This is just… CHRIS HAYES: Neurotic. REID: …who they are. They’re neurotic. But Joe Biden's job was to reassure them tonight. His job was to calm his party, to make them feel that yes, I can do this. I have four more years in me. I have the ability and the stamina and the strength to do four more years. He did not do that. He did the opposite of that. He made them more panicked. The people who were texting me were even more panicked. They actually expected it to be better than it was, and now they are in a, I will not say a full-fledged panic, but it’s getting there. MADDOW: The people that you are talking to that are expressing these concerns, are these people who are involved in Democratic politics or are these liberals watching TV? REID: These are not liberals watching TV. These are- these are campaign people. These are people who are either Democratic operatives, these are people who are former, sort of Obama World administration people, these are people in the business. So the civilians are also panicking. They are also texting me. But I was trying to kind of ignore the civilians and really talk to the campaign folks. People are worried, and it is not a full drumbeat yet. But there is talk of, look, here's the thing. I know a lot of politicians. I just happen to know a lot of them at a lot of levels. They all believe that they have a unique ability to run the race that they passionately want to run. And I know for a fact that Joe Biden passionately believes that he is the only person who can beat Donald Trump, and he has evidence of it because he did it before. He knows that he has certain demographic strengths that Donald Trump cannot counter. He is the real working-class white guy that’s actually Donald Trump’s base, so he knows how to talk to them. He believes that he is the only person that can do it. The problem is, after tonight, his party doesn’t believe that.   The most devastating line of that devastating segment was clearly the last: JOY REID: (Biden) is the real working-class white guy that’s actually Donald Trump’s base, so he knows how to talk to them. He believes that he is the only person that can do it. The problem is, after tonight, his party doesn’t believe that.   This MSNBC panel is ready to wheel President Biden off a cliff, á la those old ads attacking Paul Ryan. The mood may shift in the hours and days ahead, but for the time being there is now a clear panic on the left’s signature cable channel over Biden’s performance at a debate of his choosing with rules of his creation. Or at least of the creation of his team.  As we continue to monitor the fallout from Biden’s epic debate collapse, the trendline across all networks appears to be that the Regime Media is now seeking Regime change.

Democrats have only themselves to blame.
