Biden campaign advisor concedes president did not perform well in debate: "Not his best moment"

Despite admitting a "bad" performance at the CNN Presidential Debate, Biden surrogate Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., continued to defend the president's candidacy on Friday.

"America's Newsroom" heard from Walz on Friday, who said he had a bad night last night and dislikes debates. He has experienced many of them and finds them to be performative.

"While Donald Trump may be entertaining, his actions do not constitute effective governance."

During the debate, President Biden had difficulty keeping up with the conversation and lost his train of thought multiple times. This raised concerns among his allies about his ability to continue leading the country.

Bret Baier questioned Walz about Biden's inability to convince Americans in 90 minutes that he was capable of leading for another four years.

"Indeed, not our best moment," Walz remarked. "Nevertheless, we recognize that this is about two distinct visions for America. One represents a compassionate leader in Joe Biden who prioritizes the well-being of the middle class. The other embodies Donald Trump's approach, which we are all too familiar with. Despite the constant stream of falsehoods, the Trump presidency did not benefit our country."

"He acknowledged the concerns and stated that the president would have another chance to address the issue. Everyone experiences imperfect days, and not all broadcasts are ideal. However, it is crucial to return and present the case because the difference is too significant."

After the debate, a CNN flash poll showed that 67% of viewers believed Trump won, while 33% thought Biden emerged victorious.

In the upcoming final presidential debate in September, Walz advised Biden to emphasize that Trump is unable to provide policies that benefit the American people.

"Joe Biden has fulfilled his promises on infrastructure and met our needs, but he must return to argue his case."
