Biden’s Debate Performance Will Hit National Security Hardest

This op-ed first appeared in Newsmax on June 28, 2024. 

The results are in on Thursday’s presidential debate. There is bipartisan agreement that President Joe Biden bombed and former President Donald Trump dominated the evening.

Now the mainstream media can’t use the "deep fake" excuse to mislead Americans about what they saw with their own eyes last night.

Biden was incoherent, lost his train of thought and appeared confused.

Americans saw a president showing obvious signs of significant decline in mental acuity.

Our 46th president offered no believable defenses for his record as president.

In fact, those defenses made no sense.

He failed to respond to so-called "layup" questions which would have scored him easy points. He demurred in rebutting devastating attacks by Mr. Trump, especially Trump’s repeated arguments that the huge influx of illegal migrants caused by Biden’s open southern border is destroying social security.

Biden’s failure to answer this charge probably will hurt him with older Americans, one of the only voting blocks where he holds an advantage over Trump.
