Biden tries to reassure voters after a shaky debate performance
The day after a debate in which he faltered many times, President Joe Biden hit the campaign trail to try and reassure supporters that he is still up for the job and capable of beating former President Donald Trump in November.
His performance in the CNN debate on Thursday led many Democrats to panic about his chances of winning reelection. Some commentators who have long supported Biden even called for him to step aside.

Customer Reviews
Trump DOESNT pay HIS bills!!!
So, how can he talk about NATO countries?!?!
Excellent reporting
I appreciate the excellent journalism presented at Consider This.
Lazy journalism
I have been a lifelong liberal and strong supporter of NPR (including financially). I know you are trying to break down complex topics into bite size pieces, but it just feels LAZY. Opinion contributors to complex topics, sharing only one side that is an opinion without supporting facts. The Outside Agitators episode being the latest one. Do better.
