Biden humiliated after debate performance
The president is who he is at this moment. It’s true that the Biden campaign, and perhaps First Lady Jill Biden, should be feeling humiliated after their debate performance.

Discussions about his campaign
Although NBC News reports indicate President Joe Biden has discussed his campaign future with family and close aides at Camp David, Maryland, there is no indication that the Democrat plans to withdraw from the race.
The trip was pre-planned before the debate debacle, and although Biden was “humiliated” by his performance, he still seemed optimistic about his chances.
In fact, he told donors at a private gathering that his debate performance actually “converted more undecided voters than Trump did,” according to NJ.com.
But in fact, it’s not. Reuters reported that a group of undecided voters they interviewed after the first presidential debate “decided after the game was over, and it was almost always bad news for Biden.”
Biden aides deny he has any plans to withdraw from the race.
Despite her husband’s serious illness, Jill appears unwilling to relinquish power, and the pair may have to consider Hunter Biden’s sentencing as they consider resigning. The president insists he will not pardon his son. Had he known he was leaving the White House, he might have felt pressured to renege on that statement.
