Biden debate performance did not reassure the democrat's tonight?!!
Biden did not come out of this debate looking like a strong or capable leader. He meandered through his thoughts and stumbled over his words. He appeared unfocused and, at times, disoriented. His voice was hoarse, as Hayes previously pointed out, something that his campaign seemed to blame on having a cold.
Biden’s performance tonight has set off a panic among Democrats, NBC News reported. Before the debate even ended, there were calls for him to withdraw from the race, and at least one Democratic member of Congress suggested to NBC News that there should be “an open convention and a new Democratic nominee.” If Biden went into this debate hoping to reassure voters that he can ably serve four more years as president, he certainly failed.

That said, I too was on the phone throughout much of the debate, with Obama world people, with Democrat's, with people who are political operatives, with the campaign. My phone really never stopped buzzing throughout. And the universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic.
The people who were texting with me were very concerned about President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak. And you know, I’ll just reiterate what I said earlier: President Biden had one job tonight. He had to settle his own party. He had to settle Democrats.
Democrats are always panicking; they’re always scared. Joe Biden’s job was to reassure them tonight. His job was to calm his party....He did not do that. He did the opposite of that.

Democrats' 'universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic'
Obviously, Joe Biden comes in with certain deficits, he has a stutter. It is more difficult for him to communicate for that reason. So there’s a lot to mitigate the way that he speaks, and you can understand it, and we’ve observed him for a long time.That said, I too was on the phone throughout much of the debate, with Obama world people, with Democrat's, with people who are political operatives, with the campaign.
