Comments: President Joe Biden's performance in the first debate Thursday has sparked a new round of criticism from Democrats, as well as public and private musing about whether he should remain at the top of the ticket. "There is a sense of shock at how he came out at the beginning of this debate. How his voice sounded. He seemed a little disoriented," David Axelrod, who was a top White House and campaign official for former President Barack Obama, said on CNN. "There are going to be discussions about whether he should continue," Axelrod added. A Democratic lawmaker, asked by NBC News whether the debate inspired confidence in Biden, replied: "The best thing I can do to help Joe Biden is to pretend I didn’t get your text." Publicly, Democratic officials continue to largely rally around Biden, and they argue a lackluster performance doesn’t change the fundamental stakes of the election. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose name is often floated as a potential alternative nominee, told reporters in the "spin room" after the debate that his party "could not be more wholly unified behind Biden" and said Biden shouldn’t step aside. But the private whispers whipped up after Thursday’s debate performance, during which Biden had a raspy voice, spoke softly and at times seemed to lose his train of thought, leading his aides to try to deflect midway through the debate by saying he had a cold. In the modern era, a national party has never tried to adversarially replace its nominee, in part, because knows it would most likely fail. The issue came before both parties in 2016, but neither took action. Party rules make it almost impossible to replace nominees without their consent, let alone smoothly replace them with someone else. And doing so would amount to party insiders’ overturning the results of primaries when Democratic voters overwhelmingly to nominate Biden. He won almost 99% of all delegates. And at the moment, there’s no known, serious effort to push him off the top of the ticket. Still, the Democratic National Committee's charter does make some provisions in case the party’s nominee is incapacitated or opts to step aside, and an anti-Biden coup at the convention is theoretically possible, if highly unlikely. So how would it work? What happens if Biden drops out before the convention? The only plausible scenario for Democrats to get a new nominee would be for Biden to decide to withdraw, which he has sworn off repeatedly during other bumpy stretches of his campaign. He could do so while serving out the rest of his term in the White House, as Lyndon Johnson did in 1968. If Biden were to drop out before he is scheduled to be formally nominated in August, it would create a free-for-all among Democrats, because there’s no mechanism for him or anyone else to anoint a chosen successor. It takes a majority of the roughly 4,000 pledged delegates to win the party’s nomination. Biden’s won 3,900 of them. Under recent reforms, the party’s more than 700 superdelegates — Democratic lawmakers and dignitaries — are allowed to vote only if no one wins a majority of pledged delegates on the first ballot, so their votes could be crucial in a contested convention. Because Biden's opponents all won effectively no delegates throughout the Democratic nominating process, there'd be a virtual clean slate heading into the convention, and the decision would most likely come down to the convention delegates who were initially pledged to Biden. Biden would have some influence over his pledged delegates, but ultimately, they can vote as they please, so candidates would most likely campaign aggressively to win over each individual delegate.
Comments: I watched only 5 minutes of the debate and it was sad to realize, once again, we have no good choices. Biden is showing his age more and more. Nothing to be ashamed about but one has to realize it’s time to retire. Trump, on the other hand, is the same guy who has zero interest in running the country. He just wants to be president to help himself. 3rd party candidates should be extremely happy about this debate. Their chances just went up! Of course, the system won’t allow them to be president but, “anyone is better than these two” was the biggest takeaway from last night.

Comments: Watched the whole thing. Biden did very poorly. Several times he froze and at times he was incoherent.
Comments: آقا فرامرز خلاصه اینکه بایدن رید. به اضافه ضعف معمولی دموکراتها این بابا یادش میره, قاطی میکنه, گاه گاهی هم تو دایپرش جیش میکنه وسط مناظره. کاملا تر زد.
Comments: In the end, I do not think debate performance matters all that much, especially if it is this early. The bottom line is that Biden is incompetent and Trump is a criminal. But since I do not think issues like these matter to Americans, I think this debate was entirely inconsequential, unless democrats flinch and get rid of Biden.
Comments: Now Anderson from CNN is fighting with Harris. What a disarray among the democrats. Wow
