Above all, Joe Biden’s allies have wanted him to demonstrate strength and energy on the debate stage this week to help put to rest questions about the 81-year-old Democrat’s physical and mental acuity.
President Joe Biden walks from the stage during a break in a presidential debate with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Atlanta.
“It was a slow start. That’s obvious to everyone. I’m not going to debate that point,” Vice President Kamala Harrison CNN after the debate. “I’m talking about the choice in November. I’m talking about one of the most important elections in our collective lifetime.” “Every Democrat I know is texting that this is bad,” Gupta wrote on X. “Just say it publicly and begin the hard work of creating space in the convention for a selection process. I’ll vote for a corpse over Trump, but this is a suicide mission.”
But DNC rules don’t have the same strict “faithless delegate” rules that the RNC does, which ignore votes against in violation of a delegate’s pledged position. Thursday’s debate may be imprinted on voters' minds for the foreseeable future with Biden and Trump not scheduled to meet on the debate stage again for another 75 days.
