Biden’s Debate Performance Was Such a Disaster, He Could be Replaced

Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump faced off at CNN’s Atlanta studios Thursday night in the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election.

A nearly unanimous chorus of observers from across the political spectrum agreed that Trump handily won the debate and Biden turned in a dismal performance. Some prominent liberal voices even went so far as to suggest Biden step aside and allow another Democrat to seek the party’s nomination.

CNN anchors Dana Bash and Jake Tapper moderated the debate.
