There was considerable concern about Joe Biden’s ability to perform robustly. His voice was raspy and quiet, and he often struggled to round off sentences.
Less than 15 minutes into the debate, he appeared to lose his train of thought while discussing health care benefits.
Biden’s performance left some questioning his mental and physical fitness, especially given his age. Donald Trump appeared energetic and commanding throughout the debate.
He took the opportunity to hit back at Biden’s stumble, humorously saying, “He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death.” The debate was hosted by CNN and moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. It ran for 90 minutes and provided insights into the candidates’ positions and communication styles.
