Following a lackluster debate performance, concerns have arisen within the Democratic Party regarding Joe Biden's ability to lead the party into the November elections. The debate, watched by over 51 million viewers, showcased a subdued and slow-moving Biden, leading to calls for him to step aside from more than 15 Democratic lawmakers.
Despite attempts to rally support, including a fundraiser with prominent figures like George Clooney and Barack Obama, Biden's lack of vigor on stage raised doubts about his candidacy. The subsequent NATO news conference did little to assuage concerns, with some Democrats publicly calling for his resignation.
