Letters reveal President Biden’s underwhelming performance in the debate
The Issue: Concerns about President Biden’s cognitive decline during the recent presidential debate on June 27.
Observing the debate evoked a sense of deep sadness in me (“Just sad,” June 28).
If President Biden had not caused so much harm to our country and deceived the public, I might have felt sorry for him.
Americans deserve better.
Biden is clearly too old to effectively serve as commander-in-chief.

Following Biden’s disappointing performance during the debate, it is clear that he is not fit to be the president of the United States.
The role of the leader of the free world is incredibly demanding.
It is evident to any reasonable person that Biden lacks the mental and physical capabilities required for this role.
His time in office has been filled with failures at every turn.
It was disheartening and distressing to witness such a cringeworthy display.
Thursday’s debate marked a turning point highlighting what many have known for some time: Joe Biden must step down.

Despite his lackluster debate performance, characterized by feeble mannerisms and a weak voice, Biden still exhibited experience, integrity, and an understanding of the issues that impact all Americans.
Donald Trump may have displayed more energy, but energy alone does not guarantee the protection of our nation’s sovereignty.
Trump’s well-known flaws often overshadow his lack of knowledge on crucial governance matters.
This time, his ignorance was on full display.
Voters must decide whether they want an uninformed president who aims to dismantle the Constitution or one who is committed to its protection.

Biden’s cognitive decline has been exposed once again on the global stage, preventing his supporters from denying the evidence.
What is truly concerning is that this was Joe Biden performing at his best, reportedly with the help of performance-enhancing drugs.

The president’s debate performance confirms that he is not capable of serving another term, a fact that has been apparent for some time.
The most responsible parties in this situation are his family, who seem to prioritize their own interests over Biden’s well-being.
There can be no other explanation.

It is astonishing that there are still individuals who believe Biden can serve even another six months, let alone four more years.
However, it seems unlikely that he will voluntarily step aside for someone with sharper mental acuity.
Unfortunately, the person closest to him who could influence this decision appears to be unaware of the unfolding situation.
If Jill Biden is so determined to reside in the White House for the next four years, is she willing to subject her husband to ridicule from a significant portion of the country?
If this is not elder abuse, then what is?
