Former U.S. President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden rally for Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro at the Liacouras Center on November 5, 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.ormer President Barack Obama has reacted to President Joe Biden’s questionable-at-best showing at the first 2024 presidential debate on Thursday against former President Donald Trump.
“Bad debate nights happen,” Obama, 62, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday afternoon. “Trust me, I know.” Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know.

On both sides of the aisle, politicians said that Romney won the Oct. 3 debate, and that Obama lacked enthusiasm. Still, Obama fought back and was able to win a second term that November.
In the aftermath of CNN’s presidential debate in Atlanta, many Democrats have decried Biden’s performance, some sharing that the debate “Obama, though, is remaining staunch in his backing of the incumbent’s campaign. He stated that last night’s performance by Biden—in which the 81-year old mumbled, trailed off at points, and repeatedly lost his trains of thought—did not change the stakes of the election in November.
