Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
3:05pm- On Thursday night, CNN hosted 2024’s first presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Who won the debate? The New York Times polled their opinion columnists—and despite progressives greatly outnumbering conservatives, 10 of 12 columnists thought Trump won, with 2 concluding the candidates battled to a draw, and 0 choosing Biden. Similarly, CNN conducted a flash poll which indicated that 67% of debate watchers thought Trump won, with 33% selecting Biden.
3:15pm- Immediately following Thursday’s debate, Democrat strategists and left-leaning television anchors began asking whether the party should replace Joe Biden as their presidential candidate given his poor performance and inability to consistently organize his thoughts while answering questions. For example, former Obama Administration Advisor Van Jones told CNN that “there are going to be a lot of people who want [Biden] to consider taking a different course now…That was not what we needed from Joe Biden. It is personally painful for a lot of people.” Could Biden actually be replaced?
3:30pm- Michael Brendan Dougherty of National Review writes: “Instantly last night, the sentence ‘Joe Biden is unfit for office’ was transmuted from a right-wing disinformation campaign to liberal conventional wisdom…It was plainly obvious in February, when, after Robert Hur’s report came out saying that Biden was an elderly man struggling with memory problems, Biden then came out in a press conference and gave the kind of performance that causes families to put their aging patriarch into the care of an institution…Everyone in elite media and Democratic politics knew that Biden was not really up to the job, and sometimes barely competent.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/the-covid-era-echo-chamber-collapsed-on-joe-biden-at-last/
3:50pm- Recapping last night’s debate, John Favreau—Host of Pod Save America & former Barack Obama Speechwriter—called Joe Biden’s performance a “disaster.”
