Biden Says Travel Schedule Before Debate Reason He ‘Almost Fell Asleep Onstage’
HuffPost
The president is working to assuage supporters, adding Tuesday that his comments were “not an excuse, but an explanation.”
President Joe Biden acknowledged again Tuesday that he didn’t have the “best debate night” during his match-up against his presumptive GOP competitor, Donald Trump, but said he is “feeling good about what’s happening” with his campaign.
The president made the remarks at a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia, amid growing concern among prominent Democrats about his reelection bid. The White House has been on damage control over the past week, attempting to assuage voters’ fears about Biden’s age.
He said Tuesday that his schedule before the debate “wasn’t very smart,” noting he had traveled around the world “a couple times” beforehand.
“I decided to travel around the world a couple times, going through I don’t know how many time zones,” Biden said. “For real I think it was 15 time zones...I didn’t listen to my staff.”
“And then I almost fell asleep onstage,” he added.
