CBS News Raises Doubts About Blaming Biden’s Poor Debate Performance on a Cold

CBS News is not buying the idea that a cold is to blame for President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

During a segment on “CBS Mornings” Friday, co-host Gayle King noted Biden’s team has said he had a cold during the debate, as an apparent defense of his performance.

“This is the thing, when you have a cold, there’s many things you can take for it,” King said. “A cold doesn’t force you to lose your train of thought, a cold doesn’t force you to just throw things out randomly that to many people made no sense.”

She asked, “How long do we continue to act like we didn’t see what we just saw last night?”

After turning in a raspy, rambling performance where it was hard to hear and follow what Biden was saying, Democrats are reportedly in a panic about the future of his candidacy.

Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich shared two texts she received from Democrats. One read, “The race is over.”

Meanwhile, another said, “We are f***ed.”

Meanwhile, The New York Times published several op-eds calling on Biden to step aside after the debate.

Yet, shortly after the debate, Biden was seen at a Waffle House.

One reporter asked, “Mr. President, how do you think you performed tonight?”

“I think we did well,” Biden responded.
