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.

....and here I thought old Joe had a cold. Now he was just sleepy. Hey Joe, your team set up the debate parameters.
Biden would have come out of the “debate” much better
had he slept through it.
Hope he doesn’t drift off into a cozy nap if he’s ever being briefed about whether to use the nuclear football!
He has a poor memory, remember?
And a cold.
Outstanding.
‘This guy is taking “how to blame everyone but yourself” lessons from Hillary.
The only truthful thing he said in the entire article.
Yes, but they needed to shift his sleep cycle so he could stay up until midnight. All they accomplished was exhausting him.
Anyone who has dealt with the cognitively declined knows that isn’t going to work.
I had read they gave him naps every afternoon during prep.
Fell into a coma is more like it . . .
Join the crowd, Joe. The audience almost fell asleep when you were on the debate stage as well.
That’s a good indication of progressive dementia.
Joe Biden, Master Debater
“jet lag” that lasted two weeks? ... really? ...the most stupid excuse yet as to why dementia joe was fully demented during the debate ...
TBH, even when he’s there he’s not “there”.

Did his dog eat his flash card answers? The world awaits the answer to this pressing question.
The debate was terribly bad. The spins are even worse.
