The former president Barack Obama acknowledged as “bad” the participation of the president and candidate for re-election Joe Biden in the debate against his rival Donald Trump, but insisted on his invitation to the citizens to support him with their votes.

“Bad nights of debate happen. Trust me, I know,” wrote Democrat Obama during Friday afternoon through his X account.

And it's that Biden has been harshly criticized after the electoral debate. Analysts and viewers claim to have noticed how at times he seemed disoriented and struggled to express himself, some even stating through social media that the President is not fit and should resign.

However, Barack Obama maintains his support for Biden, asserting that despite it being a "bad night", that doesn't change the fact that the candidate for re-election has fought for the people throughout his entire life, and that Trump only "cares about himself".

“But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November,” Obama stated.

Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and criticisms

Barack Obama has shown strong support for Joe Biden. At a recent fundraising event for his presidential campaign, he tried to assist Biden when he froze on stage, attempting to cover up the moment, but despite that, everyone noticed what happened with the former president.

There were no shortage of responses to Obama’s message this Friday. Some backed him up while others refuted his words. “He is an old liar. He is done,” “You are trying to force a man with clear cognitive decline to take office, but then why would anyone expect anything remotely based on the principles of the party that has funded a damn genocide for the past nine months, right?” “It’s a choice between maintaining our democracy or having dictator Trump rule the country for the next 8 to 10 years.”
