‘Embarrassing’: Media blaming Joe Biden's disastrous debate on exhaustion

Sky News host Caroline Di Russo has criticised some media commentators after blaming US President Joe Biden’s “dire” performance during the first presidential debate due to being exhausted. The CNN presidential debates on Friday covered issues concerning US voters on immigration, inflation, abortion, defence and climate. However, the debate was marred by Biden’s bumbles and stumbles throughout the debate. “You look at it, and you're so embarrassed for what’s going on screen your throat tightens up, and that’s how I felt about the US debate,” Ms Di Russo said. “It was dire, and I don’t think anyone watching that is living in hope. “It was even interesting just watching some of the commentary on the debate, and some media commentators were like, oh Biden looks a little tired today, and I’m like, really, is that where you're still at.”
