During the recent debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, Democrats have voiced their worries about Biden's performance and his approach to countering Trump's statements.
Some lawmakers have expressed alarm that Biden has not been forceful enough in addressing Trump's mistruths and articulating his own vision for the country.
One lawmaker described Biden's performance as a 'disaster,' noting that Trump appeared more reasonable despite his falsehoods, while Biden seemed unintelligible.
Another lawmaker characterized Biden's performance as a 'train wreck,' although acknowledging some improvement as the debate progressed.
Democrats are particularly concerned that Trump is coming across as more measured than usual, while Biden is perceived as not effectively pushing back against Trump's lies.
A third lawmaker commented that Biden's performance improved after the initial 15 minutes, but expressed a desire for Biden to be stronger in confronting Trump's falsehoods.
Overall, Democrats are apprehensive about Biden's ability to effectively counter Trump's rhetoric and present a clear vision for the future.
