Democratic senator 'horrified' by Biden's debate performance, says campaign needs to be 'candid'

U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, said he was "horrified" and remains concerned about President Biden's performance during last week's presidential debate, which has put Democrats on the defensive about their presumptive nominee's health and mental capacity. 

Whitehouse was interviewed by 12 News about his reaction to the Thursday debate, which pitted Biden against former President Donald Trump in Atlanta. 

"I think like a lot of people I was pretty horrified by the debate," Whitehouse told the news outlet.
