Democratic U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey of Fort Worth openly criticized President Joe Biden’s performance in a recent debate against former President Donald Trump, calling it “not good.” Despite potential concerns about Biden’s age and ability to serve a second term, Veasey urged Democrats to relax and spend time with their constituents during the upcoming July 4th recess.
During the debate, Biden struggled to articulate his positions, leading to concerns among Democrats, including discussions about possibly replacing him as the party’s nominee. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz predicted that Biden could be replaced by Michelle Obama due to his poor showing against Trump.
Concerns about Biden’s impact on down-ballot races were raised by Democrats in competitive races, while Republicans were urged to reflect on Trump’s controversial remarks during the debate. Rep. Veasey emphasized the need for Republicans to address the problematic statements made by their nominee.
Although Democrats like U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar expressed disappointment in Biden’s performance, they highlighted the importance of focusing on Trump’s behavior and remarks during the debate. Despite the mixed reactions to Biden’s performance, Veasey reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring Biden’s reelection and encouraged Texas Democrats in competitive races to continue their efforts and look towards the future. Ultimately, the fallout from the debate has sparked discussions about the direction of the Democratic Party and the upcoming presidential election.
