During a fundraising event on July 2nd, US President Biden admitted that his performance in the first presidential debate on June 27th was not ideal, attributing it to jet lag from two overseas trips earlier in June. Biden faced criticism for his debate performance, with one Democratic congressman even publicly calling for his withdrawal. Despite White House officials attributing Biden's poor performance to a cold, Biden did not mention any illness during the event. Recent polls suggest a third of Democrats believe Biden should not seek reelection, but no other prominent Democratic candidate outperforms him in a hypothetical matchup against Trump. The polls indicate that Biden has not lost support among voters post-debate, with both him and Trump maintaining 40% support each. The US presidential election is set for November 5th.
