Joe Biden Says He 'Almost Fell Asleep' on Debate Stage Published at 7:24 PM EDT
President Joe Biden on Tuesday offered an "explanation" for his poor debate performance during a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia.
While addressing supporters alongside Virginia Representative Don Beyer, the president said that he "wasn't very smart" to travel in the weeks leading up to the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.
"I decided to travel around the world a couple of times ... shortly before the debate ... I didn't listen to my staff ... and then I almost fell asleep on stage," Biden said, according to a pool report from Andrew Feinberg, White House correspondent for The Independent.

"It's not an excuse but an explanation," the president added, per Feinberg.

That's an interesting way to try to make the debate better.
Didn't he have an entire week off before the debate?

Yes, eight days at Camp David which would have been the longest “jet lag” recovery in history. What a pathetic liar.

Did anyone tell the 16 staff members who were stuck with him for the week leading up to the debate that he wasn’t there?
To: nickcarraway
yep, he had an entire week to rest up. Perhaps he wants to set the world record for “jet lag” in one person after a trans-ocean trip.
