There was a debate between the current President Biden and former President Trump on June 27 organized by CNN.
It was a total disaster for Biden. He showed his biggest weakness voter concerns about his age and sharpness. His voice for hoarse. His throat did not sound clear. He made many notable gaffes. He had memory issues.
Biden is 81 and Trump is 78. But in front of Biden, Trump looked like 58. After the debate, Biden’s wife and a secret service agent escorted him from the stage. Trump walked out briskly.
During the debate, Biden’s strong point was abortion. Trump’s strong points were Economy, Inflation, and Immigration and border issue.
There are calls from his own Democratic Party for Biden to step down and allow someone else to contest. But he has refused. He said he will not withdraw and will run for re-election.
Two days after the debate, in one of the meetings, Biden made another gaffe by saying “he is the first Black woman to serve with a Black president”. Apparently, he got confused with Kamala Harris (Black) and Barack Obama (Black).
He also told the Democratic Governors he wants to work from 10 am to 8 pm only. (What happens if an international situation happens between 8 pm to 10 am?)
I personally think he will withdraw in another 2 weeks. There are several names being suggested to replace Biden. Among them are Kamala Harris (Vice President) and Gavin Newsom (Governor of California).
In the meeting yesterday, he was determined about not quitting and confident of beating Trump. He would endeavour to assure all about his fitness and readiness for the Presidential contest in the ABC interview.
ReplyDeleteSadly, he's still in race!
DeleteThanks for your comments Mr. KP. Please do not expect anything from ABC interview. The guy who is going to interview Mr. Biden is George Stephanopoulos. He is Biden's "allakai" (staunch Biden supporter).
DeleteGood gist of the debate. Biden’s blunders and mix ups, is a desperate call for a new and fitter candidate!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Swarna.
DeleteHow Trump manages to be energetic at 78 is something we need to analyze and learn from..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Rajesh. I know 2 things about Trump. He plays golf every day. He eats junk food from McDonald's every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
DeleteAnd he does not drink.
DeleteI feel, it is high time Biden retires, the oldest sitting president of USA, even while assuming the office (78) why he still wants to race? power craze?
