On June 27th the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump occurred. The former 45th president squared off against the incumbent. Biden appeared cognitively challenged at times and struggled immensely to deliver clear and concise remarks to his questions. Trump, while his usual bombastic and egotistical self, stood in sharp contrast to the president and at least offered a somewhat rational alternative. In polls that were conducted following the first contest, the numbers show a staggering reality for Biden. 72% of respondents to a CBS poll stated that they no longer believe Biden is cognitively up to the job of the presidency. Only 18% of respondents said Bidens performance inspired confidence.
The upcoming November elections are now less than five calendar months from occurring. Most polls continue to forecast a dead heat between Biden and Trump, and it is likely that the election will be decided by a series of swing states like Nevada, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and others. In most polls, Biden is projected to be losing or tied in these states, with Trump enjoying narrow leads in many cases.
Many Democrats are in a frenzied panic and are beginning to worry after the president’s paltry performance on the debate stage. An ex-white house photographer recently came out and claimed that White House Staffers have known about Bidens significant health challenges for a long time, and that strong, concerted efforts were made to conceal these realities. Bidens campaign has attempted to say the debate was just a “slow start” to the cycle. One ex-photographer named Chandler West made an Instagram post that claimed that many of Bidens staffers have been displaying worries about Bidens mental decline for a long time and that while the media has often been silent about these realities the concerns have been there for a considerable period. West claimed it was time for Biden to be replaced by a new presidential candidate.
