Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) acknowledged that President Biden had a rocky debate performance, saying that he had “preparation overload.”
Biden’s lackluster debate performance Thursday sparked concerns among Democrats about his ability to serve a second term in the White House. However, Clyburn shot down any suggestions that Biden should step down from the ticket, urging people to look at his administration’s record and not judge based on one night.
“Yes, it was a bad performance. I’ve been around these things. I’ve been a part of debate preparation before, and I know when I see what I call preparation overload. And that’s exactly what was going on,” Clyburn said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“The other night, I saw Joe Biden reppin for words and phrases, and even numbers that he was loaded up with. The next day, he gets to North Carolina, he’s freewheeling, and he captivated the audience. And that’s what we should do,” he added.
He also said that preparation for the next debate should be “different.”
Clyburn suggested that Biden needs to prepare for the debate with “deflection” instead of just with information. He said Biden needs to prepare “the kinds of things that we did not see in Joe Biden the other night and saw it four years ago.”
He also said it is “very clear” that Biden should stay in the race, which echoed his previous comments last week where he said the president should “stay the course.” He also said last week he would support Vice President Harris taking over the top spot on the ticket if Biden “ain’t there.”

So Joe just worked too hard, studied too hard, spent too much time preparing for this debate? His handlers just worked poor Joe too hard and he became befuddled??
Clyburn is block head but he has a lot of leverage in the Democrat party.
It looks like even though the wagons are on fire, they’re going to circle them anyway.
I believe that very same thing happened to Stephen Douglas during his debate with Lincoln at Freeport, Illinois.
Boy, they sure are getting creative with the excuses.
I’d say is more due to too much Preparation H from too many diaper overloads
Why is Yaphet Kotto standing between W and Clinton?
He had to stand at a lectern for all those practice sessions... By the time he actually had to debate he could barely stand. It’s his aids fault... You hang in the Joe, and don’t let them make you resign. Even if you do live a life in soiled depends and suck your thumb most of the day, you’re the Dumocrat nominee and don’t let them convince you otherwise.
These fools think it helps to say Biden can’t handle too much input about subjects. The everyday firehose of information about ongoing and new international and national events Presidents have to absorb and act on is way beyond any debate prep and it never stops.
Gee, just think what he would if a nuke was on the way.
I’m going to bed. Call Jill, she’ll know what to do.
Clymer is pimping for his ho.
Clyburn is 83 - looking very old worn out and out of touch - so this is the guy the DNC sends out to defend Biden’s age?
Someone should Joe’s lawn jockey Jimmy Clyburn that The Joek had diaper overload...
Clyburn is a moron. “Preparation overload.” I wonder who taught the boy that kind of crap.
the gaslighting isn’t going to work anymore Clyburn, give it up. Everyone now knows Joe is suffering from dementia
sorry james, but president 10-4 aint cutting it- he has problems mentally and physically=- only the most obtuse deny it now
And that’s why “Doctor” Jill had to help The Big Guy down those three steps like a little child.
So Clymer is saying Good Old Joe should have backed off the prep and just winged it.
That was their constant criticism of President Trump — he was unprepared for the office of President and was winging it.
They want it both ways.
His overload was caused by climate change. Comeon people!
