Media figures shocked at Biden's 'bad' debate performance: 'Total and complete disaster

Members of the media expressed shock and horror at President Biden's debate performance right out of the gate Thursday."

Look. This debate was a total and complete disaster for Biden. He looked old. His answers trailed off repeatedly. He was hard to understand. He would stop in mid sentence and move on to something else," former CNN commentator Chris Cilizza wrote. "I NEVER thought he would be this bad. Stunning. Truly."

"Biden’s hoarse voice and resting face overwhelming the actual back and forth, but early yet," Politico columnist Jonathan Martin reacted to the president's presentation. 

"The Biden team hates stories about Biden's age. They are about to get a lot more," Axios reporter Alex Thompson warned.
