Biden Blames Lackluster Debate Performance on Foreign Affairs, Sources Say

President Biden has acknowledged his lackluster debate performance and blamed it on his focus on foreign affairs, according to reports from CNN. During a private conversation with a close ally on July 2, he expressed regret for spending too much time on foreign policy and blamed jet lag and fatigue from recent trips to Europe for affecting his debate with Donald Trump. Despite preparing extensively for the debate, President Biden’s delivery and overall performance were widely criticized. He stuttered, appeared distracted, and spoke in a weak voice during the 90-minute debate. Democratic voters expressed concerns about his ability to run for re-election, and some lawmakers even called on him to withdraw from the race. However, according to reports from CNN, President Biden’s press secretary and top campaign aide denied that he was considering suspending his campaign if upcoming events did not go well. Instead, they emphasized that the President was focused on his accomplishments, vision, and campaign goals.
