“When you’re just looking at someone on a one-shot basis, you just don’t know what could happen. Did he have a bad cold? You know, did he take an antihistamine to make him… groggy or what have you. We don’t know what went on. I think it would be unfair and inappropriate to try and diagnose something from just a 90-minute clip. It just looked like a bad night,” Fauci said.
Fauci added, “he’s very reflective on things and just doesn’t jump out with conclusions or anything, but is very analytic, so my interactions with him, I have to say, have been very, very positive.”
Post-debate polls revealed concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden’s performance compared to Trump’s assertiveness, prompting discussions about Biden potentially suspending his campaign.
Biden’s upcoming interviews and campaign events will likely play a crucial role in determining his future in the race, with allies suggesting that his performance will influence his decision to continue or step aside for another candidate.
