President Barack Obama’s former senior adviser, David Axelrod, admitted that Biden’s first performance was damaging from the start of a debate that has shocked liberals.
“I think there was a sense of shock actually about how he came out at the beginning of the debate, how his voice sounded, he seemed a little disoriented,” he said on CNN, noting that there would be “discussions” in the party after the debate about whether Biden should continue his race for re-election.
Kate Bedingfeld, former White House communications director under Joe Biden, also criticized her former boss’s performance.
“It was a really disappointing debate performance by Joe Biden,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any other way to break it down.”
