The consensus on both sides is that it was a complete disaster for Biden, and the Democrats are now in full panic mode about the Nov 2024 election.
Trump was already at least 4 percentage points ahead nationally, BEFORE the debate (45% Biden, vs 49% Trump), so this will just push Trump into an even greater lead.
For once, Democrats who regularly watch CNN, MSNBC and the other liberal media , for he firs time were not seeing selectively edited video to Biden to look competent, seeing Biden as he actually is every day, and Democrats were horrified.
I seriously doubt there will be a second debate after this train wreck.
