A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.
…
A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because “Trump sounded like a crazy liar,” according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.
The man being interviewed said Trump “said the same thing time after time” and was not answering questions or “saying how he would fix things,” according to a Newsweek translation.
He went on to admit that “Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking,” saying the president “has a stutter” but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.
“After being undecided for a little while, I think today, I switched to Biden,” he added.
People were pissed at me calling this yesterday.
I was wondering why they all abruptly stopped messaging me a couple hours ago.
The decided voters are where they are.
If you’re undecided, and you watch this debate with an open mind, there’s only one logical conclusion if you want your life to get better, and that’s to vote for Biden.
It was 4 years of trump damaging the US, telling lies and objectively being shown not to follow through on what he says, then being found liable for rape and treason.
Even though Biden mumbled some words, his answered questions were believable because they were in line with the last 4 years of his administration, that have been great for civil rights,the environment, sustainable technology, infrastructure and the economy.
No-brainer for the undecided.
Two party system is too vague and horrific. Will never vote for anyone in either party.
I might just be a drop in the pond, but I’ll vote independent for the rest of my life.
That’s the way, I usually vote independent.
This time, though, Biden is doing everything I was looking for from the green party so yeah, I’m good this round.
Do you have a single issue that you’re voting on , or is it just independent on principle regardless of the issues?
Really? He shuffled on and was so incoherent I was shocked. I turned it off after ten minutes as it was embarrassing to watch. They need someone better.
Absolutely absurd.
He’s been doing a great job for 4 years, standing next to dumps, who can’t string two sentences together, and being asked palatable questions that basically mean nothing, I think he did pretty well for an 81-year-old.
Also, biden’s a great president, they don’t need anyone better.
I’m not commenting on the four years, I’m not American, but on what I saw. It was not a pretty sight. “pretty well…” isn’t a great measure, is it? Not many are saying he came out looking well
Are you going off the two five-second clips that are being repeated everywhere or the entire debate?
For an event that means so little substantively, “pretty well” is a good metric.
If you walk through a manure mister and look pretty well at the end of it, you’re good.
Also, he has regular public performances before and after that event, if you watch any of those, he’s fine.
4 years of effective administration is more significant testament to biden’s ability to lead than standing on stage next to an idiot for 90 minutes.
I watched the first ten minutes of the ‘debate’ and had had enough.
I don’t know how many watched the ones prior and subsequent to this, but… 68m people (if I remember rightly) watched this.
The past four years don’t mean much for the forthcoming election at the end of the year when the concerns of people are not being addressed, by someone who struggles to walk and speak coherently.

There are plenty of people worried about this, and calls for him to step down are significant. If he’s like this now, what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s? This does not look good.
You can say: the past four years! as much as you like, it won’t matter if Biden loses, which is a more realistic prospect than it was last week.
Many people who didn’t watch the debate, don’t regularly watch his public appearances and read internet comments feel the same way you do.
Calls for biden to step down are not significant in the real world, they are baseless epithets repeated on the internet by anonymous strangers or established conservatives.
The concerns of people are being addressed, any claims to the contrary are not based in fact.
“what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s”
Not as important to holding the office of the President as people are misapprehending. Biden’s not a car salesman, he is administering a country, and he’s good at it. He can wear polka dot bow ties for all I care. FDR was in a wheelchair and often couldn’t speak at all.
Anyone who believes there’s any reason to replace Biden as the presidential candidate at this point is either allowing themself to be fooled by internet trolls or is a troll themselves.
What do you think now? The writing was on the wall three weeks ago.
That I was right, democrats all got taken in by conservative bullying and threw away their best chance at winning the presidency with the incumbent president who already beat trrmp and gained allies and voters through progressive legislation.
First ten minutes were the worst, after that Biden started to make at least some reasonable points.
People also seem to be completely brushing off him having a cold like it was just some campaign lie. To me that’s exactly what he looked like: completely out of it from being sick. I get like that when I’m ill and I’m not even half his age. Given his campaign events and state of the union have not been the same it seems pretty clear to me that it wasn’t simply him being old unless I’m missing something.
Fair. Initial impressions can be damning.
