White House Addresses Concerns Over Biden's Debate Performance and Health

The White House admitted that President Joe Biden did not perform well in a recent debate but emphasized his ability to lead the country, citing his record over the past four years. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to media concerns about Biden's health and reiterated his focus on delivering for the American people.

The White House acknowledged Tuesday that President Joe Biden had a lackluster performance in a recent debate but stressed his proven record of leadership and readiness to run the country for another term.

'Honestly, this is something that the president has addressed himself multiple times since this past Thursday. First of all, I want to say, we understand the concerns. We get it. The president did not have a great night. As you all know and many of you reached out during the debate, the president had a cold. He had a hoarse voice,' White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at her daily news conference.

Jean-Pierre faced an onslaught of questions regarding Biden's health and mental fitness to continue in office. She reiterated that Biden's record over the past three and a half years speaks volumes about his capability to lead, adding that his history of overcoming personal struggles resonates with many Americans.

'This is a president, you've heard me say this, we've talked about this. He's been able to give us an economic recovery, the strongest economic recovery in modern history,' Jean-Pierre stated, quoting former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Clyburn who praised Biden's achievements in office.
