I didn't watch the debate personally, but I had an eye on my Twitter feed throughout, so I was generally aware of what was happening. For those few people in the US unaware, Biden had an absolutely terrible night, coming across like an 81 year old in the grip of cognitive decline. Afterwards, I hopped over to both CNN & MSNBC; the guests were ashen and in agreement that Biden needed to step aside for the good of the country. The next day, the New York Times weighed-in: To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.
By that afternoon, however, the Democratic establishment had spoken: Biden was their man. Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Barack Obama & Bill Clinton had all stated their support for Biden remaining in the race.
I'm looking forward, over the days & weeks to come, to watching the Times, CNN, MSNBC & their brethren struggling to reconcile their inclination to toe the party line with the evidence of their eyes and their stated, on the record, belief that he needs to go.
