"Obviously, the gamble did not pay off," one Democrat said.President Joe Biden participates in the first presidential debate of the 2024 elections with former President Donald Trump at CNN's studios in Atlanta, June 27, 2024.President Joe Biden's decision to debate former President Donald Trump early on was widely perceived as an effort to change the narrative in a race dominated by concerns over his age.

"I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said, either," Trump said. "There is no spinning tonight's showing by Biden. It wasn't bad. It was a disaster," added a Democratic pollster, who, like other Democrats, spoke anonymously about the debate. And while Trump is only three years the president's junior, and similarly makes factual errors on the trail, including mixing up names, surveys show trepidation about his fitness is less widespread.
