Joe Biden campaign insiders described the president's mood following last week's debate with Donald Trump as “humiliated,” indicating he knows the image of the performance will live on well into the future.
The news came from a source cited by NBC News.
The startling report said one source described Biden as “humiliated, lacking confidence and painfully aware that his physical image in debates (eyes staring into the distance, mouth open) will persist beyond his presidency.” It was pointed out that it was described.
NBC noted that the debate footage (which featured Trump in a split-screen appearance alongside Biden, appearing energetic and enthusiastic) included a performance the outlet described as “at times … meandering, incoherent and difficult to understand.”
It's a surprising admission by the media that months ago it did its best to push the White House narrative that Biden's objectionable video was a “cheap fake.”

Biden humiliated after debate performance
The president is who he is at this moment. It's actually Biden's campaign, and it's First Lady Jill Biden who should probably be humiliated by her debate performance.
According to an NBC News report, Mrs. Biden is the only person President Biden is currently listening to.
“The only person who has ultimate influence on him is the first lady,” the source said. “If she decides that there should be a change, then there should be a change.”
They noted that the current campaign is a “mess”.
Any voter who has closely followed Biden's actions over the past four years will be acutely aware that the leader of the free world has become a “mess.”

discussion of his campaign
NBC News reports that President Joe Biden has discussed the future of his campaign with his family and associates at Camp David in Maryland, but there is no indication that the Democrat will back out of the race.
The trip was planned even before the debate disaster, and despite Biden feeling “humiliated” by his performance, he still appears optimistic about his chances of victory.
In fact, he told donors at a private party that his debate performance actually “pulled more voters than Trump,” according to NJ.com.
No. Reuters reported that a group of undecided voters they spoke to after the first presidential debate “had their verdict after the contest, and it was almost universally bad news for Biden.”
Biden's aides deny that he has any plans to drop out of the race.
Jill appears unwilling to give up power despite her husband’s condition, and the two may have to consider Hunter Biden’s sentencing when considering resignation. The president has insisted that he will not forgive his son. If he knows he is leaving the White House, he may feel pressured to break that declaration.
