What did CNN anchor Erin Burnett say about Joe Biden's debate performance?
“He practices with the mics. He knows every one of these questions is coming, and yet he couldn't fill the time,” Burnett added.
The two presidential contenders faced each other on Thursday, June 27, where they were asked a variety of questions. This debate held a lot of significance ahead of the presidential election in November this year.
Biden's performance in the debate was faltering, leading to concerns among Democratic party circles and calls for him to pull out of the race. His detractors have claimed that going by his debate performance, Biden does not seem capable to handle another term in office.

That’s how bad he is.

Just like when Donna Brazile gave Hillary the debate questions ahead of time in 2016. It was totally expected that someone would also do it for 10%.

That gave him over a week to repeat the answers.

“Whoever practiced with him must have been a DEI hire or a traitor in his camp because he was horrible. Can someone watch who resigns or gets fired in a few days? (By the way, I am voting for Trump) I just want to know who that person or those people are?” a tweet read.

Another user said, "It's less likely that CNN gave Biden the questions, and more likely the Biden campaign gave CNN the questions."
It’s less likely that CNN gave Biden the questions, and more likely the Biden campaign gave CNN the questions.
