President Joe Biden's re-election campaign faces a crisis following a faltering performance in the first TV debate against former President Donald Trump. Concerns about Biden's age and mental fitness were amplified after the debate, which many observers described as disastrous for the incumbent. Democratic campaign operatives and 'Obamaworld' insiders expressed their worries, with some suggesting Biden has been given an ultimatum of one week to revive his campaign. Barack Obama also weighed in on Biden's performance, and a body language expert described Biden as 'like a dead man walking.' Despite the poor showing, Biden has given no indication he will drop out of the race. Meanwhile, CNN declared Trump the winner, and some commentators noted that the debate rules, which included turning off microphones, may have inadvertently worked in Trump's favor.
