A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.
…
A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because “Trump sounded like a crazy liar,” according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.
The man being interviewed said Trump “said the same thing time after time” and was not answering questions or “saying how he would fix things,” according to a Newsweek translation.
He went on to admit that “Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking,” saying the president “has a stutter” but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.
“After being undecided for a little while, I think today, I switched to Biden,” he added.
I’m not commenting on the four years, I’m not American, but on what I saw. It was not a pretty sight. “pretty well…” isn’t a great measure, is it? Not many are saying he came out looking well
Are you going off the two five-second clips that are being repeated everywhere or the entire debate?
For an event that means so little substantively, “pretty well” is a good metric.
If you walk through a manure mister and look pretty well at the end of it, you’re good.
Also, he has regular public performances before and after that event, if you watch any of those, he’s fine.
4 years of effective administration is more significant testament to biden’s ability to lead than standing on stage next to an idiot for 90 minutes.
I watched the first ten minutes of the ‘debate’ and had had enough.
I don’t know how many watched the ones prior and subsequent to this, but… 68m people (if I remember rightly) watched this.
The past four years don’t mean much for the forthcoming election at the end of the year when the concerns of people are not being addressed, by someone who struggles to walk and speak coherently.

There are plenty of people worried about this, and calls for him to step down are significant. If he’s like this now, what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s? This does not look good.
You can say: the past four years! as much as you like, it won’t matter if Biden loses, which is a more realistic prospect than it was last week.
Many people who didn’t watch the debate, don’t regularly watch his public appearances and read internet comments feel the same way you do.
Calls for biden to step down are not significant in the real world, they are baseless epithets repeated on the internet by anonymous strangers or established conservatives.
The concerns of people are being addressed, any claims to the contrary are not based in fact.
“what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s”
Not as important to holding the office of the President as people are misapprehending. Biden’s not a car salesman, he is administering a country, and he’s good at it. He can wear polka dot bow ties for all I care. FDR was in a wheelchair and often couldn’t speak at all.
Anyone who believes there’s any reason to replace Biden as the presidential candidate at this point is either allowing themself to be fooled by internet trolls or is a troll themselves.
What do you think now? The writing was on the wall three weeks ago.
That I was right, democrats all got taken in by conservative bullying and threw away their best chance at winning the presidency with the incumbent president who already beat trrmp and gained allies and voters through progressive legislation.
…which conservatives? They were political commentators, Democrats and their funders. Biden is/was not going to win.
He certainly won’t now.
I asked which conservatives (had a meaningful impact on Biden stepping down).
Your statement was not sensible in the first place, and is evermore silly now.
The Democratic Party put pressure on him to stand down because he was not going to win; only his pollster said he had a chance, no others did.
He was never going to.
They were.
