For President Joe Biden , this debate was a bid to get two things across to voters: that he’s sharp, not too old and is fit for the job – and that Trump is unfit for another term in the White House.
Admittedly, some of the weirdness can be chalked up to how this debate was structured based on a number of rules negotiated between the teams of the two candidates. The teams also worked out the details of tonight’s debate over the past weeks, agreeing to no audience, or members of the press in the room during the 90-minute debate. The two sides agreed that the microphone would be cut off whenever the other candidate was speaking.
Biden hit back noting that more jobs were lost on Trump’s watch than any other president, including Herbert Hoover, of Great Depression-fame. “He rewarded the wealthy,” Biden said as Trump nodded. “If you take a look at what he did with his administration, he didn’t do much at all. What he left was chaos, absolute chaos.”“There was no inflation when I became president,” Biden responded. “You know why? Because the economy was flat on its back when I came into office. He decimated the economy.
When Biden brought up how Trump opted not to visit an American World War I cemetery in France Trump – who denied and outright lied about a range of things as the debate wore on-- even started denying that he had said the soldiers buried there were “suckers and losers.” “My son was not a sucker or a loser. You’re the sucker. You’re the loser,” Biden said angrily.
Suffering from a cold, Biden’s hoarse voice and sometimes unfocused answers just were not the performance he needed to convince voters that are on the fence about his age to look past it.
