i think there are bigger issues in this country that need to be addressed. as you can see, a lot of different opinions tonight and reaction to this debate that was happening, a really consequential moment. i m in a swing state with so many voters who know what the stakes are so what now the next few hours, we ll we will be crucial in the political future of joseph robinett biden, if there is a future and actually that s not hyperbole after the historic cnn debate, luck as tonight, one which has democrats so nervous, one told our friend kasie hunt, quote, we are eft. now so far, no elected democrats that we know ab have publicly asked for buying this step aside, but prominent supporters, including columns as thomas friedman, they are out there saying, quote, i cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in american presidential campaign politics in my lifetime precisely because of what it revealed, joe biden, a good man and a good president has no business running for re
their record now on the subject of pennsylvania, just moments ago, we spoke to the governor of that commonwealth, josh shapiro. listen to what he told us here s the bottom line joe biden had a bad debate night, but donald trump was a bad president. i think we have a responsibility right now to ask ourselves what kind of nation? we want it be. i think the answer is clear on that, and then we got to stop worrying and start working. right? a lot of questions for the biden campaign. let s get right on the ground where president biden is today in raleigh, north carolina. that s where cnn senior white house correspondent, kayla tausche is. what are you hearing from the biden team? kayla will john the biden team as of this moment, plans to pack up what few wins they had on the debate stage last night, you ve already seen some of those packaged and posted on social media and to move on and focus on what s coming down the pike. there are no plans. i m told for the president to dro
it s got no problem other than it s his competence he is grossly incompetent. you know, they keep saying olds. i know people that are much older than him that are doing unbelievable things, making a fortune. i knew a man that it s 79. he was never a success and he made a billion, billion and a half dollars from 79 to 92 and that s what it is. it s not as age, it s his competence is not respected anywhere in the world. our country is being laughed at all over the world. biden is using the weaponization of his justice department, the fbi, local district attorney s that attorney please general, to try and win an election against his political opponent. that happens to be made, you know who i am something that actually was unthinkable in our nation. but which is very common in third world countries are in banana republics. that s what he s doing. he s using law enforcement to try and hurt his political opponent every one of those things last night, you saw that was all started by
experienced donald. trump going after his son, hunter biden. this was back in this timber 2020 debate. when president trump said that hunter biden had been dishonorably discharged for using cocaine from the military to be clear, he was administratively discharged, which is different. he also mocked a hunter biden, if you ll recall saying he couldn t get a job until president biden had become vice president. so who up the defense, if you also remember that president biden gave at the time saying, look, yes, like a lot of american families are families. one that has dealt with the problem of addiction, but i m proud of my son and i love my son. eighth had said at the time that that ended up being actually one of the most resonant moments coming out of the debate. but i think all of this just goes to show the biden team s broader strategy of trying to prepare for anything and everything. but donald trump might throw his way thursday night in christian. i understand. you have
the oval office. but history may not be our best guy. i d here of course, the politics now are far more vitriolic and rough and tumble, but president biden has been practicing at camp david, the presidential retreat outside washington engine for this very reason, there s no american politician alive who is debated as often he knows well that first term presidential curse. that s why even tonight, he s still practicing with his aides jeff zeleny. thanks. the news continues right here on cnn and outfront next to a special edition lie from cnn s debate headquarters in atlanta, breaking news tonight on biden strategy, a technique that insider for say a said biden s favorability, quote, off the charts. this as questions swirl over whether trump will announce his bp as early as tomorrow. has a real-time demonstrate patient of what will happen when one candidate tries to interrupt the other. the question everyone has that and everything else you need to know about the debate rules
