CNN’s debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden drew strong reactions from Democrats — particularly the panel on CNN, which admitted that Biden had a poor performance.
“Anderson, this was a game-changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” CNN host John King said after the debate:
It started minutes into the debate and it continues right now. It involves party strategists; it involves elected officials; it involves fundraisers. And they’re having conversations about the president’s performance, which they think was dismal, which they think will hurt other people down the party in the ticket. And they’re having conversations about what they should do about it.
CNN political commentator Van Jones admitted, “That was painful. I love Joe Biden. I worked for Joe Biden. He didn’t do well at all. He did not do well at all.”
“My focus group of undecided voters wants Joe Biden to step aside,” Luntz said after the debate concluded.
“They like him and respect him – most voted for him in 2020. But they want him to go,” he said, adding, “Tonight was a political earthquake.”
