USA President, Joe Biden has come out to offer an explanation for his lacklustre performance while debating Donald Trump.

He recently had his say at a campaign fundraiser in McLean, Virginia, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, his intense travel schedule actually had him feeling sleepy before the event, and that is the reason he almost fell asleep on the debate stage.

Joe added that he’ll blame his lack of energy on being exhausted from long trips in the weeks before Thursday’s first presidential debate, including a journey to France in early June for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

His words, “I decided to travel around the world a couple of times … shortly before the debate … I didn’t listen to my staff … and then I almost fell asleep on stage.”

WOW.

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States since 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under President Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009.

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was born on November 20, 1942, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Catherine Eugenia “Jean” Biden (née Finnegan) and Joseph Robinette Biden Sr. The oldest child in a Catholic family of English, French, and Irish descent, he has a sister, Valerie, and two brothers, Francis and James.

Biden was elected the 46th president of the United States in November 2020. He defeated the incumbent, Donald Trump, becoming the first candidate to defeat a sitting president since Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush in 1992.

Trump refused to concede, insisting the election had been “stolen” from him through “voter fraud”, challenging the results in court and promoting numerous conspiracy theories about the voting and vote-counting processes, in an attempt to overturn the election results.
