This is AP News. I'm Rita Folle. Some are using the word panic to describe Democrats' response to President Biden's performance last night at the CNN presidential debate. AP Washington correspondent, Sagar Magani. President Biden has stirred democratic anxiety after his performance at last night's debate. We got to take a look at what I was left when I became president. The president came out raspy and halting with what one person familiar with the matter says was a cold. He appeared to lose his train of thought during one answer, drifting from tax policy to health policy and mentioning COVID. If we finally beat Medicare, he gave more clear answers as the 90 minutes CNN debate went on going after Donald Trump on immigration and veterans policy. Every single thing he said is a lie. And noting Trump's hush money felony conviction. The attacks got more personal. The worst president, the worst presidency in the history of our country. With Trump saying he had the nation in good shape as president. Everything was rocking good. Sagar Magani Washington.
