Biden’s campaign against Trump was derailed by his debate one year ago

A year ago on Friday, President Joe Biden took the scene of the debate against the presidential candidate at the time, Donald Trump, and led one of the last nails in the coffin of his re -election campaign while the traditional allies turned their backs on the 46th president and then gathered to replace him as a frontrunner against Trump.

Biden entered the re -election cycle already accumulated by affirmations and concerns that his mental acuity had slipped and that he was not mentally able to continue to serve as president, who was underlined by the report of the special lawyer Robert Hur in February 2024 which rejected the criminal accusations against Biden to own classified materials, citing that he was “a more sympathetic man, a bad memory “.

The president of the time spent days preparing for the David camp debate in Maryland, while videos of his recent public blunders and missteps haunted the campaign in the days preceding the debate. Trump, on the other hand, led the accusation to demand that Biden will take a drug screening test to prove that he did not take supplements improving performance before the long -awaited event.

Biden postponed the charges he used all the supplements improving performance, including Trump’s mockery to do a drug screening test in a post X showing that he drinks a can of water.

“I don’t know what they have in these performance amplifiers, but I feel pretty. Try it yourself, friends. See you soon,” read the X Post, accompanied by a photo of Biden drinking a water box that read “Get Real, Jack. It’s just water.”

A few minutes later, Biden would offer a defaulting debate performance that triggered panic among the Democratic Party, while some rushed to defend Biden, and others broke with the man who had served in the public service for more than 50 years to demand a new leadership at the 11th hour of the campaign cycle.

“I really don’t know what he said at the end of this sentence, I don’t think he knows what he said either,” Trump fired Biden at some point during the debate.

The viral moment followed Biden trying to praise the bipartite border package of the congress that the legislators had yawned earlier in 2023.

Biden said: “We find ourselves in a situation where when he was president, he separated the babies from their mother put them in cages, ensuring that families were separated.”

“It is not the right way to do it. What I have done since I changed the law, what happened? I changed it in a way that now you are in a situation where there are 40% of people less through the illegally border, it is better than when it has left its functions. And I will continue to move until we obtain the total ban on the total initiative relating to what we can do more Asylum, “Bide said on the border and sheltered from Bide.

Overall, Biden’s 90-minute performance has been riddled to trip on his words, speaking in a tenor much more moderate than during his vice-president, having a hoarse and uncertain voice, and sometimes losing his thought.

Biden and Trump were also faced at their age during the debate, the moderator saying that Biden would be 86 at the end of a second potential term, and Trump 82.

Biden defended his age, saying that he “had spent half of my career being criticized to be the youngest person in politics. I was the second person never elected to the American Senate, and now I am the oldest. This guy is three years old and much less competent.”

Trump, said he had passed cognitive tests and “did them”.

The debate triggered panic among the Democrats Allies of the President and the media members because they noticed that his performance was a failure that added fuel to the fire of concerns concerning its mental acuity and age.

“My phone has never really stopped buzzing throughout. And the universal reaction was approaching somewhere in panic,” said MSNBC host, for example.

“My job is now to be really honest,” said the former Missouri senator, Claire McCaskill, a democrat, during an appearance on MSNBC after the debate. “Joe Biden had something he had to do tonight, and he didn’t do it. He had one thing he had to do and was reassuring America that he was up to work at his age. And he failed tonight.”

“I think that the emotions of the night were fundamentally disappointing, anger, then, in the end, it was panic,” said a Democrat who obtained anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital after the debate.

The inherited media such as the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune called Biden to draw an exit plan – with the Times describing Biden as a “shadow of a large official” – while the allies of Biden such as former President Barack Obama and First Lady Jill Biden reiterated their support for the re -election of the 46th president.

“Bad nights of debate occur. Believe me, I know,” Obama said the day after the debate. “But this election is always a choice between someone who fought for ordinary people with his whole life and someone who cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows well and will give it to the American people – and someone who lies between their teeth for their own advantage.”

Shortly after the debate, however, the reports were spread that Obama worked behind the scenes to rally that Biden abandons the race, so that a new generation of democrats could take the reins of the party.

The White House, on the other hand, forcefully defended the president following the debate.

“Absolutely not,,” said room secretary in the chamber Karine Jean-Pierre, said in a media conference on July 3, 2024, when he was asked if Biden intended to leave the race in 2024.

Biden finally abandoned the race on July 21, 2024, less than a month after the debate, as the pressure of traditional allies increased. The president announced his departure in a Sunday afternoon message published on his X account.

The announcement was quickly followed by him approving the vice-president Kamala Harris to take the coat, leaving him just over 100 days to launch his own presidential campaign against Trump.
