During a recent interview, President Joe Biden addressed his performance in the recent debate, admitting that he had not watched a replay but took ownership of his mistakes, stating that it was 'nobody's fault but mine.' He acknowledged that he was aware of how poorly the debate had gone and expressed regret for his performance.
Biden went on to explain that he had prepared for the debate as he would for meetings with foreign leaders or the National Security Council, focusing on explicit details. However, he seemed to veer off course during the interview, mentioning New York Times polling data and emphasizing that his opponent had lied multiple times during the debate.
When pressed about his performance, Biden attributed it to simply having a 'bad night,' indicating that he recognized his shortcomings during the debate.
This interview marked Biden's first televised appearance since the debate, which has raised concerns among Democrats, including lawmakers, donors, and voters, about the future of his candidacy. The pressure is mounting on Biden to address his debate performance and reassure his supporters about his ability to lead effectively.
