Where was Joe Biden at Thursday’s debate?

“Follow me, I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t talk as fluently as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to. But I know what I know. I know how to tell the truth,” Biden said. explainwhich drew warm cheers from the audience.

“I know right from wrong, and I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. And I know what millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up!”

However, it is unlikely to be enough to reverse the numerous calls for his exit or to ease voter discontent as panic fade away.
