President Joe Biden blamed his poor debate performance last week on jet lag from traveling. He admitted he wasn’t smart to travel so much before the debate, saying he almost fell asleep on stage.
His travels included two trips to Europe and a quick return from Italy. Biden, 81, said this at a fundraiser in Virginia, emphasizing it wasn’t an excuse but an explanation.
His remarks came amid concerns about his age and mental fitness within his party.
Some Democrats are worried he can’t win the upcoming election, with one Texas congressman, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, even calling for Biden to step aside.
Despite this, Biden remains determined to run.
