Biden looked so frail and incoherant at times that this must be the end of his Presidency very soon.
How have the Democrats not faced this sooner and selected someone else, I don't understand why they have let this go on for so long.
He had to be helped off the stage by his wife and it seems like elder abuse.

And then we are pretty much guaranteed WWIII. I am so angry the democrats didn’t find another candidate and angry with Biden for not stepping down. Trump will be an utter disaster for the world, not just America. Why hasn’t Biden retired? When he’s on top form he’s great but he’s clearly struggling. He’s the safest option though because he will have a team of good people around him advising him. Trump will only have sycophants.

I do agree. It’s actually very sad to see. I have no idea how they go about replacing their candidate at this stage , but sadly, Biden will just hand this to Trump.

Haven't watched it yet, so can't properly comment but I keep hearing mention of elder abuse and, I have to say, it's starting to sell like this and someone needs to put a stop to it.

It is a sad situation when a man feels like he has to push himself on in the most important position in the world into his eighties because it seems like he is the only person who can counter the existential threat to democracy which is Trump.

It's heartbreaking. The Republicans are likely to win as a default.

I'm so sorry for America (especially as Trump is being influenced by the obnoxious Farage and all that he stands for).

There'll be a mechanism but first things first they have to face the reality it needs to happen. They seem to be in denial at the moment and wasting precious time. I'd have thought Kamala Harris is the only option at this stage. She needs to start getting out there.
