‘He Failed’: Biden’s Debate Performance Sparks Concern Among Democrats
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.

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.
I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention. Someone like @gretchenwhitmer or @SherrodBrown or @SecRaimondo could still jump in and beat Trump.— Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) June 28, 2024
“I love that guy,” CNN host Van Jones said of Biden. “… But he had a test to meet tonight to restore [the] confidence of the country and of the base, and he failed to do that.”
Jones continued, “There is time for this party to figure out a different way forward if he will allow us to do that.”
