Biden’s first answer reveals his strategy
We got to take a look at what I was left when I became president, what Mr Trump left me. We had an economy that was in free fall. The pandemic was so badly handled, many people were dying.

Biden mocks Trump’s allegation he’ll take performance enhancers ahead of debate
‘I don’t know what they’ve got in these performance enhancers, but I’m feeling pretty jacked up. Try it yourselves, folks,’ he wrote on his X account.
‘The secret to a good debate performance? Staying hydrated. Get yourself the same performance enhancers Joe Biden took before going on stage. 100% water, 0% malarkey,’ the description reads.

Newsom says clip of Biden freezing onstage at LA fundraiser was ‘weaponized’ and the president had ‘barely slept’ right before
So the weaponization of these clips, it was ridiculous.
That’s for hours and hours on the photo line with President Obama. He had just found back from the G7…he had barely slept. No one could have kept that schedule.
He did a wonderful job in private with all the donors, with surrogates, did an amazing job on stage.

Joe Biden is not the legitimate president of the United States. You should only shake hands with the legitimate president of the United States. He’s not it.

Exclusive: Gov. Gavin Newsom shoots down rumors he could fill-in for Biden on 2024 Democratic ticket in interview with DailyMail.com
It’s a non sequitur. I don’t even understand the context of that. This is a President of the United States running for reelection. He’s our guy.
And that’s part of the diversion tactic of the right – to continue to sort of muddy the waters on all of that and that nonsensical speculation. It’s just like the absurdity of who’s going to get an injection shot. I mean this is farcical.
It’s serious stuff – democracy, freedom, liberty, rights. And to see it trivialized as we’re trivializing it even having these conversations is really distressing to me as an American citizen, not just as a Democrat.
James Carville suggests ‘zinger’ for Biden to bat away age issue
It’s no doubt that I’ll be 82. By the way, I want to wish my opponent Happy Birthday. He recently made 78!
