Biden justifies disastrous TV duel appearance with a cold and jet lag
We tried to find out what was wrong. They made a test to see if I had an infection, that is, a virus, the 81-year-old continued. But that wasn't the case. "I only had a really bad cold."
Since Biden's appearance at the TV duel with his predecessor Trump on June 27, a discussion has arisen among the Democrats about whether they should exchange the 81-year-old for another candidate for the presidential election on November 5. Biden spoke with a hoarse voice during the TV debate with Trump, stumbled in his formulations several times, and did not finish some sentences. On Friday, Biden confirmed that he would remain in the race.
Despite the cold symptoms, Biden managed to overcome jet lag for his TV duel appearance against Trump. The US President's hoarse voice and stuttered speech during the debate sparked concerns, leading to speculations about his health. Biden acknowledged the criticism and assured the American Broadcasting Company during a television interview that he would continue his campaign, despite the ongoing virus challenges. As Trump also battled with the virus, the election race remained intense and challenging for both candidates.
