'Mop up operation': Biden campaign has a simple explanation for flawed debate performance

Raw Story  

Before the debate even ended on Thursday night, President Joe Biden's team seemed to be in damage control. Kelly O'Donnell, senior White House correspondent for NBCNews, tweeted that two sources familiar with the "situation" offered a possible explanation: “President Biden has a cold.” O'Donnell reported, citing multiple sources, that the president tested negative for COVID-19. The explanation predictably didn't appear to land with social media users watching the debate, which could send Democrats into full-blown panic mode. Within the first hour, Intelligencer political columnist Jonathan Chait asked what many Democrats across the country were thinking: "Time to panic?" "Joe Biden has started this debate looking wan," he wrote.
