Some Biden aides thought they had scored a coup in agreeing to a June debate. They worked with broadcaster CNN to shape the rules in what they thought was their favor and agreed on May 15 to two debates, including the first on June 27. He and his aides headed to Camp David for focused prep sessions on June 21, where they peppered Biden with details, then followed up with mock debates for the better part of seven days.In CNN's Atlanta studios, Biden stumbled over his words and lost his train of thought. His delivery, appearance and voice drew the immediate attention of reporters, who asked his aides for an explanation.
Trump jabbed Biden for being incoherent:"I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said.""I know I'm not a young man, to state the obvious," Biden said the day after the debate, admitting a poor performance."Nearly fell asleep on stage," he said on July 2.
House of Representatives Democrat Jim Clyburn - a kingmaker of sorts within the Democratic Party who was instrumental in Biden's 2020 win - said on July 2 that he would back Vice President Kamala Harris if Biden did depart and suggested the idea of a"mini-primary" if Biden stepped aside.
