Biden had an exhaustive 14 days oversea official schedule before he took on Trump. Any man his age would take time to recover. Trump rested still couldn't resist his rally style demeanour of lies and incoherency. it was a difficult debate whereby none came up winner. Internal polls and focus groups showed no change in voters'opinions in battleground states after the debate. Biden is still in the race to win.

It’s an unfortunate situation for the Rep party that Trump and MAGA are holding them back to nominate a better man. It is a curse as it also split the party.

Most narratives asking for him to step down were from the media, concerned supporters and donors The top Democrats rejected the calls to replace on day one. The party is united for Joe Biden to continue. There really more to fear to replace Joe than just keeping him in the race. He has a good 4 years track record and he is the incumbent in this election. He still raise lots of funds post debate. CBS News/YouGov poll on Sunday morning has 55% of registered Democrats voters saying Biden should continue running. Trump didn;'t win the debate. His lies and refusing to engage in good faith debate and not answering direct question were also not good optics for the voters. I too feel that staying with Biden is better for this election.

It is more than loser and winner in this election. It is fate of the country I see the race differently. It is stabiity vs chaos of Trump. If Trump lose, will he accept the election result.

I am on planet normal. Lets talk crooked, Checked the ledger and you have twice impeached, 34 counts conviction, indicted related to Jan 6, indicted in Georgia alongside 18 of his allies to overturn the 2020 state election, indicted by a federal grand jury over mishandling of clasfied documents, legally defined sexual predator in the E Jean Carroll case etc. On the other side of the ledger, Biden zilch. What planet are you on?

It is heartening to see that the family behibd him 100% to stay in the race and keep fighting. They know him better in terms of his mental capabilities and it was a resounding endorsement of him. Also notable is that top democrats stand united and urging the party to stand behind Biden. Key Democrat leaders vehemently reject calls for Biden to drop out of the race.This is the kind of party unity that will argurs well for the remaining 4 months of campaigning. They are re-energized, the supporters are not fazed by the debate disappointment and the donors recognized that Biden can still beat Trump.

If he committed no crimes, no one will go after him.

Well then sharks and Hannibal Lector must be from a cognitive retarded brain. If Trump is better he wouldn’t be a single term President. Old man that delivered to the people versus con lying man with no policies will be the deciding factors for the educated independents.

One dimension illustration. What missing are factors causing inflation like Ukraine war, supply chain shortages and a strong labour market post Trump when consumers spend less because of the pandemic. Too hard for you to understand?

Rather weak defence of a one term president.

Trump’s cognitive decline on full display.

Well you can’t argue that he has the tools to turn the economy around after handed a failed economy by Trump. The best economy among the developed countries and powering the world economy currently.

Yes I was surprised by his turnaround. The debate was indeed a blip a one-off. He was at his normal best in his rallies. Voters will ultimately vote for person with the policies for the people and someone with the right temperament and good character. Trump lacking in all those key elements.

Seem the debate is an afterthought for voters. Biden raised more grassroots fundraising hour after the debate. His post debate rallies were strong and full of vigour. The debate has zero impact on the election according to Allan Lichtman. Voters will vote the person with the right temperament and character. https://people.com/joe-biden-strongest-grassroots-fundraising-hour-after-debate-8671051

Knee-jerk poll. Watch the polls in the coming months. Trump really have not covered himself with accolades with his lies, deflection and refusal to answer direct questions.

As much as I wish for 2 better candidates, I agree that it is much too late to change course. The delegates are locked in for both and they will received their support at their respective party convention. All Biden's replacement s like Whitmer, Newsome and Shipiro have pledged their support and will not change. Biden's fund raising machinery is hard to be replaced. Only him alone can made the decision if he want to carry on and he has shown no sign that he is backing off. This debate is a one-off event and will be forgotten . It is still 6 months away and too soon to made any election conclusion.

Reasonable enough to say that Trump brought nothing new to the debate. His usual and predictable rallies talking points. We expect lies, falsehoods and those hard to follow disquisitions that are part of the Maga ecosystem which he resides and only his ardent supporters understand. Biden was dissapointing. He can do so much better if he didn;t have the cold.

I hope both don't get their respective nomination. I see the debate between an old man and a con man.

BIden didn;t do well but scored on issues and policies. Trump didn't do well on all counts.

My suggestion is for you to go read his 34 guilty counts. Stark differences.

"Republicans in Congress should defund the DOJ and FBI until they come to their senses'Trump bellowed in his post after his arrest in NY and the GOPs cowardly responded. They meekly surrendered to Trump's call and one of their core values.

Strong claim to that too being the founder. I am sure that he know the risk at play if he spoke on politics.

I can agree with that.Citizen Trump will either do a runner or face long jail time. Here another zinger, his supporters will fade away and none are fully invested to riot for him.

Calm down. He was speaking at his party heaquarters to his party MPs about improving their skill and embracing lifelong learning. This is an internal gathering to his own party members; not a rally in a public place inciting violence.
