In the aftermath of Joe Biden’s recent debate performance, CNN’s Erin Burnett and Chris Wallace didn’t hold back their critiques. Despite Biden’s extensive preparation, both commentators expressed their disappointment and skepticism about his capabilities.

Erin Burnett kicked off the discussion by highlighting the amount of preparation Biden had undergone. “He goes through six days of preparation at Camp David…”
Chris Wallace interjected to correct the timeline, “More than that.”
Burnett acknowledged the correction, emphasizing the extensive preparation period, “So more than a week. They know the rules. He practices with the mics. He knows every one of these questions is coming, and yet he couldn’t fill the time. Let’s see what the White House is saying. Sources close to the White House are saying he had a cold, wasn’t feeling well. I mean, as you expect, that came out early on in the debate. But what accounts for someone with so much experience doing so much preparation and this big outcome?”
Wallace didn’t mince words in his response, “Honestly, I think the question answers itself. He wasn’t capable of doing any better than he did.”
Biden’s inability to perform despite extensive preparation raises questions about his capacity to handle high-pressure situations. Both Burnett and Wallace’s comments reflect a broader concern about Biden’s ability to meet the demands of his role, especially when it comes to public appearances and debates.
