WASHINGTON — Democrats are in full-on panic mode over President Biden's debate performance Thursday night. The president was widely seen as flustered and out of touch, and his answers to questions on the economy, foreign policy, and immigration were often incoherent.

One Democratic strategist said the debate was "a disaster" and that it could "cost him the election." Another strategist said that Biden "looked like he was lost out there" and that he "couldn't keep up with Trump." Trump, on the other hand, was seen as confident and in control, and he delivered a strong performance that will likely energize his base.

The debate is a major setback for Biden, who has been struggling in the polls for months. His approval ratings have been underwater for most of his presidency, and he has been facing increasing criticism from within his own party.

The debate also gives Trump a major boost, as he has been trailing Biden in the polls. Trump has been campaigning hard in recent weeks, and he is now seen as a serious contender to win the presidency again.

The next debate between Biden and Trump is scheduled for October 15th. It will be interesting to see if Biden can rebound from his poor performance in the first debate or if Trump will continue to dominate the race.
