On June 27, former U.S. President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden held the first round of election debates on CNN. The audience and the media quickly reacted and commented on their respective performances. From this, it can be seen that Biden, screwed up!
Opponent Trump said Biden: under his leadership, the United States has lost its international prestige and has become like a "third world country". "Not only within our country, but also outside our country, we are no longer respected." accusations, its policy is "shameful" and harms the interests of the United States......
The New York Times: Biden is trying to recover from a shaky start to his debate with Trump. At first, Biden "looked shaky, hoarse, and his answers were sometimes confused." However, in the course of the debate, "his voice became more and more harsh". Biden accused Trump of "not doing anything damn to protect the environment" and having "stray cat morality."
NBC: Comparable to the mass suicide of the Democrats. NBC, citing an analyst, said that US President Joe Biden's speech in a televised debate with former US leader Donald Trump was a collective suicide for the entire Democratic Party. "Democrats have just committed mass suicide. Biden gasped, looked tired and muttered to himself. It confirms what all voters already understand. President Biden can't win. This debate is a nail in his political coffin"
American Politico (Politico) website: US Democrats are actively looking for Biden's successor after the debate. One of Biden's major donors and supporters said Biden's speech was "the worst in history" and "so bad that no one would pay attention to Trump's lies." "Democrats are so alarmed by President Joe Biden's unsuccessful debate speech that some are actively discussing what was once unspeakable: his successor"......
An analyst: "Biden not only frightened the United States, but also the whole world"
Rasmussen, political scientist: It seems that Biden could fall at any time. "It's surprising that Mr. Biden persevered to the end. It seemed like he could fall at any moment. Biden's foreign policy is "a mess, the worst in American history."
CNN, the organizer of the debate, polled: two-thirds of the audience thought Trump was better than Biden. According to a CNN survey of text messages sent by CNN, the organizer of the campaign, to 565 registered voters who watched the televised debate, 67 percent of respondents believed that Trump was better than Biden, while only 33 percent thought Biden was superior, predicting that the survey was 6.3 percentage points wrong.
The Democrats themselves: question whether Biden is ready to run for the election. Three potential Democratic presidential candidates were allegedly "bombarded with text messages" during the debate, and one of them has received a request for nomination as Biden's replacement.
On June 27, the New York Times published a poll showing that American voters take age seriously. 69% of Americans believe that US President Joe Biden is too old to carry out his duties effectively. 45% of them are convinced that his age is such a serious problem that he simply cannot cope with the work of the president.
The Russian media is very concerned about the two Russian-related topics. The attentive RIA Novosti correspondent has calculated that Biden pronounced the name of Russian leader Vladimir Putin seven times during the debate with Trump. In addition, Trump also mentioned Russia 16 times, and Biden never did.
