Political commentator Van Jones, a former special adviser to Barack Obama, expressed disappointment in President Joe Biden's debate performance on Thursday. Jones, who has a history of supporting Biden, described the performance as 'painful' and noted that Biden did not meet the expectations set for him.
Despite acknowledging Biden's love for his country and good intentions, Jones criticized the President for failing to restore confidence among the country and the Democratic base. He emphasized the importance of Biden's performance in regaining trust and support, which he believes was not achieved during the debate.
The reaction to Biden's performance has caused concern among Democrats, with some privately questioning whether he should continue as the party's nominee. Jones suggested that there may be a growing sentiment within the party for Biden to consider an alternative course of action before the convention.
Reflecting on the debate, Jones expressed personal disappointment and described the situation as not just causing panic but also emotional pain for many individuals. He highlighted the significance of the moment and the impact it had on observers.
