You are kidding yourself, Liza. It wasn't one night.

The list of Biden's poor performance is as long as your arm. The press conference in Hanoi in 2023 had to be prematurely shut down because it was so bad. Biden couldn't articulate his foreign policy when interviewed by Fareed Zakaria. Biden declined the customary pre-Superbowl interview because he wasn't up to speed.

The Biden camp arranged the early debate specifically to dispel anxiety about his failing condition and to rescue a failing campaign to win the race—to settle the question once and for all—and he did.

Best to you.
