A decongestant perhaps. bucolic_frolic Jun 2024 #41

Hadn't thought about decongestant. My impression was he was tired from illness or lack of sleep... Beartracks Jun 2024 #91

Parkinson's? Really? Now you're putting that out there? StarryNite Jun 2024 #48

Speculations are getting ridiculous. shrike3 Jun 2024 #66

You do realize your post here is fodder for the RW crazy SM sites...don't you? STOP!! PortTack Jun 2024 #74

You do realize your denial of what we all saw is true fodder. Even the NYT editorial board asked him to resign today. RiverStone Jun 2024 #102

While I agree that we need to mobilize for Biden Dorian Gray Jun 2024 #111

Agreed. Being told not to believe what I saw with my own eyes is disrespectful. PeaceWave Jun 2024 #76

Dems should allow other Dems to speak kansasobama Jun 2024 #82

What you saw was an electronic image. delisen Jun 2024 #97

Check out his NC speech from today. tazkcmo Jun 2024 #79

Unfortunately, damn near 50 million people won't see his NC speech. PeaceWave Jun 2024 #80

Joe was listening to TSF's rapid fire lying responses and contemplating his responses... IthinkThereforeIAM Jun 2024 #83

Watch Biden's speech in Raleigh, NC delisen Jun 2024 #94

Wasn't he reading from a script in NC? HUAJIAO Jun 2024 #117

actually, it looked to me like allergies soldierant Jun 2024 #99

I think his stares indicated his amazement that TSF would lie so brazenly... Trueblue Texan Jun 2024 #108

"The flu" was an excuse for a bad night. oldsoftie Jun 2024 #113

Potential voters watching conservative media aren't going to vote for Biden anyway. Lanius Jun 2024 #43

But it is on all of the media and not just conservative media. totodeinhere Jun 2024 #45

Which isn't surprising, since the news media want this to be a horse race and focus more on optics than substance Lanius Jun 2024 #46

+1. Even Thom Hartmann is suggesting a change. I'm with Biden over any GOPer, but I'm not sure remaining undecided Silent Type Jun 2024 #53

It was on the media...now it's on posters too...so called Dems right here on DU! PortTack Jun 2024 #75

Not only the repugs will be playing snippets. totodeinhere Jun 2024 #44

As long as he's in the race, I'm riding with Biden - and so is almost everyone here on DU peppertree Jun 2024 #58

they would do that regardless Hieronymus Phact Jun 2024 #50

Yes - but last night gave them a TON of new fodder (plus the replay on the news) peppertree Jun 2024 #59

It wouldn't matter if President Biden aced the entire debate. They would and do photo shop clips to make him PortTack Jun 2024 #77

I like these suggestions but we might need more than this. honest.abe Jun 2024 #8

There was a big problem with the sound at the beginning Warpy Jun 2024 #25

Last night, people said he sounded great at the watch party afterward. Even his voice was fine. shrike3 Jun 2024 #38

What little I watched was with a live crowd in Europe Warpy Jun 2024 #42

I'm not sure which watch party this was. I heard about it secondhand here on DU. shrike3 Jun 2024 #47

I was in backstage showbiz Warpy Jun 2024 #62

Thanks. I used to be in media. shrike3 Jun 2024 #64

While I sincerely doubt there was any sort of sound check beforehand Warpy Jun 2024 #73

Why is there so little coverage of Harris? AlexSFCA Jun 2024 #28

Good ideas, Bayard Jun 2024 #29

"UNDECIDED VOTERS?!!?" GiqueCee Jun 2024 #30

There are always undecided voters in every election fescuerescue Jun 2024 #70

I never said it was "Something New"... GiqueCee Jun 2024 #72

You can categorize them that way but it would be a mistake. oldsoftie Jun 2024 #112

Can't have Swalwell or Newsome and keep Harris as VP Funtatlaguy Jun 2024 #34

Harris could move her legal residence. former9thward Jun 2024 #67

Harris moves her residence. My, my. shrike3 Jun 2024 #93

People move everyday. former9thward Jun 2024 #96

I'm just a little astonished at the speculation on the site lately. shrike3 Jun 2024 #106

It's already been pointed out on this thread that Biden campaign funds cannot be transferred to another candidate. shrike3 Jun 2024 #65

The PAC funds -- which are the majority of the funding -- can be transfered. former9thward Jun 2024 #95

A politically savvy DUer has said otherwise. I'll go with what they say, thanks. shrike3 Jun 2024 #107

Apparently a friend of mine has passed this on to a contact at the Biden campaign. brooklynite Jun 2024 #33

Good suggestions awesomerwb1 Jun 2024 #54

Excellent - thx for the update. yorkster Jun 2024 #118

It's Biden's decision, but a new candidate is a valid option carpetbagger Jun 2024 #35

Please describe a process that lets us select a candidate and build unity around him/her in 8 weeks. brooklynite Jun 2024 #36

It would look like this... carpetbagger Jun 2024 #81

I have been told the money cannot be transferred, that a new candidate would have to start from scratch. shrike3 Jun 2024 #92

I'm not an expert. carpetbagger Jun 2024 #104

Duer with lots of political experience has said the new candidate would have to raise a lot of cash in a hurry. shrike3 Jun 2024 #105

Your making new fodder for the RW crazies by repeating what others are saying about him dropping out! PortTack Jun 2024 #78
