'Need a New Nominee': Establishment Media Slam Biden's Debate Performance

The establishment media delivered a damning review of President Joe Biden’s Thursday debate performance.

Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times.

“I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention,” New York Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristof posted on X.

CNN’s Kasie Hunt underscored the difference between Biden and former President Donald Trump.

“The voice, open-mouthed look, and visual contrast between President Biden and former President Trump all have Democrats I’m talking to nearly beside themselves watching this debate,” she said:

“Democrats need a new nominee,” associate editor of the Financial Times Edward Luce flatly said:

Seventy percent would have liked to see both Biden and Trump undergo drug testing before the debate, according to a DailyMail.com/TIPP survey.

Trump is the “expected winner” of the debate, but most say the results will not change their voting intent, a recent Economist/YouGov found.

When asked which candidate is expected to win in November, Trump led Biden by ten points (48-38 percent), according to a Wednesday New York Times/Siena poll.
