In a recent video response, Joe Biden agreed to two upcoming debates with much fanfare, but as many have pointed out, the cringe factor was off the charts. Biden’s attempt to come across as tough fell flat as he awkwardly delivered lines like “Make my day, pal,” sounding more like a misplaced movie character than a presidential contender.
Beyond the cringeworthy performance, viewers couldn’t help but notice the numerous edits in the short 14-second clip. This raises concerns about Biden’s ability to speak coherently without prompts or editing assistance. It’s a troubling sight for someone vying for the highest office in the land.
‘He has five edits in there in a 14-second video. He can't even get through a 14-second video without all that help. That shows just how bad he is, he can't even get out more than a sentence without an edit.’https://t.co/DGtFsMdesV

Biden’s physical appearance in the video also raised eyebrows, with his noticeably aged look and a chin that seemed oddly swollen. Combined with his verbal missteps, it paints a picture of a candidate who may not be up to the task of engaging in rigorous debates without significant support.
The decision to limit debate conditions, such as no live audience and select news organizations hosting, further adds to the skepticism surrounding Biden’s readiness for the challenge. It begs the question of whether he can hold his own without favorable conditions and editorial assistance.
Overall, Biden’s acceptance of the debate challenge appears to be a desperate attempt to turn the tides amid declining support. However, his lackluster performance in the acceptance video raises doubts about his ability to effectively participate in a debate without scripted prompts and editing. The mockery and laughter that ensued following the video release highlight the concerns many have about Biden’s preparedness for the upcoming debates.
