This is AP News, I'm Rita Folle. Some Democrats are wondering whether President Biden should be their candidate in this election year after his performance in last night's CNN presidential debate. President Biden turned in an uneven performance in his first debate with Donald Trump before at November's election. The 81-year-old president crystallized concerns about his age early in the debate with a raspy and halting delivery while going after his predecessor, who hopes to be his successor. 159 presidential scholars voted him the worst president in the history of the United States of America. Trump gave it back. The whole world is blowing up under him. They sparred over foreign policy, abortion, the economy, immigration, asked if he'd accept the results of the November election unlike four years ago, Trump equivocated. If it's a fair and legal and good election, absolutely. The president doubts it. Because you're such a whiner. Sagar Megani Washington.
