Biden Does Debate Face-Plant as He Walks Onto Stage, Leaves Everyone Baffled Before 1st Question Asked

Before Thursday night’s presidential debate had even begun, President Joe Biden was already looking worse for wear.

The CNN-hosted debate marks the first time President Biden has faced off with his presumptive 2024 Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, since the two debated during the 2020 election cycle.

With Biden’s mental state and health in constant question, viewers were no doubt looking for signs of deterioration as they tuned into the debate.

Within seconds of walking on stage, Biden’s first words likely failed to gin up any confidence on that front.

After awkwardly walking across the stage, the president opened the debate by mumbling.

Though it’s difficult to make out, Biden appears to have been saying “It’s great to be here, thank you.”

That was far from the only concerning sign from Biden during the debate.

Is Joe Biden on performance enhancing drugs.

The sitting president also, at certain points, slurred his speech.

Throughout the early portion of the debate, his voice sounded very hoarse.

Many prominent voices took to social media to comment on these optics.

“Biden suffers multiple brain freezes. The drugs are already wearing off… We just barely got started,” the popular conservative account Libs of TikTok posted.

“The split screen of Biden is horrifying. His goggle-eyed stare is nightmarishly bad,” the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro wrote.

“Trump should just cede all his time to Biden. That’s his strongest selling point. When Biden starts a sentence that he can’t finish cause he loses his train of thought,” Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy wrote.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
