Joe Biden’s debate performance ignited calls for him to drop his presidential bid, and former President Donald Trump’s campaign team is looking to keep the attention on the president.
Not even before the conclusion of Thursday night’s debate, Trump’s team sent out a text message stating how the former president “obliterated” Biden on the debate floor.
At a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, a day after the debate, Trump reiterated how apparent Biden’s mental decline was during the event.
A poll conducted after the debate found that 72% of people said Biden lacked the mental and cognitive health to serve as president, and only 21% of people said Biden presented his ideas clearly.
The next few weeks may be difficult to keep Biden’s debate performance in the spotlight since Trump faces legal proceedings and must soon decide on a vice presidential pick.
