According to him, Biden does not intend to refuse to participate in the second round of debates in September after failing in the first one. According to Tyler, Biden did not have the best night in terms of debate, but his opponent Donald Trump was misleading viewers.
CNN, which hosted the debate, meanwhile estimated that at least 9 of Biden's talking points were not corresponded to reality, Trump had more of them — journalists counted 30 such statements.
The American media agree that Biden performed unsuccessfully at the first debate with his predecessor Donald Trump, which took place on Friday night in Atlanta. The current American president stammered and paused, not always clearly formulating his thoughts, and at the end of the event, the television camera caught the moment when his wife Jill helped Biden down the stairs.
Now politicians and journalists are saying that the Democrats may abandon Biden as a contender for the post and replace him with another candidate. Theoretically, the party will have such an opportunity at the congress in August, but in practice it will be difficult to remove Biden, who won the primary elections, from the race if he does not refuse to participate.
At the same time, the headquarters of the current president says that he is not going to give up and drop out of the race.
The second debate between Biden and Trump is scheduled for September 10. The US presidential elections will be held on November 5.
