Barack Obama’s Comments On Joe Biden’s Debate Performance
Obama empathized with Joe and lent some advice to the American people via X the day after the debate. The 62-year-old wrote:
“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself.” He continued, “Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”
He added the link to Biden’s website at the end of the tweet.
