President Biden had a task in his first debate with his rival, Trump: to promise that America, despite being 81 years old, can still govern the country for four more years. But a hoarse-voiced and old and tired-looking Biden stuttered, stumbling over his words, slurring and sounding unconvincing.

As a result, the opposite seems to have been achieved. Many Democrats are very worried. The debate on whether to nominate him has once again taken shape.

According to US media, Biden has created “a sense of doom” and the Democratic Party is now in “occupation panic”.

Watch a summary of the discussion here:

A former Biden White House aide called the president’s actions “terrible” and repeatedly asked himself, “What did he say? This is crazy.” Another Democrat concluded: “Biden Snack” (loosely translated: it’s over for Biden).

A third said it was “unthinkable” that Biden could be the Democratic nominee in November.

Politico, an American news outlet specializing in political news, Measured responses With Democrats about the debate. A key party worker said it was time for an “open conference”.

The goal is to officially nominate Biden as the presidential candidate at the Democratic convention in August. After all, he was a primary success. If an open convention were to take place, another candidate would be sought out and put forward by energetic-looking party members, such as California’s 56-year-old Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Here’s how Democratic and Republican voters viewed the debate:

A prominent Democratic supporter tells Politico it’s time for the president to end his campaign. He described Biden’s performance as the “worst in history” and added that “no one will pay attention to Trump’s lies”. Lender makes a clear decision: “Biden has to get out. There’s no doubt about it.”
