One of the Democrats’ main fears is that President Biden (the incumbent Democratic presidential candidate) will show signs of weakness due to his age. That was evident, where Biden made a slip of the tongue and was immediately attacked by Trump (former president and Republican presidential candidate)
Biden is 81, three years older than Trump.
Today’s debate is the first of two US presidential candidate debates before the decisive election in November.
But to Biden supporters’ dismay, the president stumbled early in the debate—and at one point appeared to freeze on stage.
President Biden raises questions about the national debt.
He said the country has 1,000 billionaires and if they paid 25 percent taxes, they would generate $500 million to help pay off the debt.
But then the conversation started to go south, with Biden mumbling and stopping for a moment.
“(We) made sure that we could get everyone…uh, qualified to do what I can do with…uh…with Covid. Excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with…uh…look.”
