ATLANTA, GEORGIA: President Joe Biden appeared to show his age during Thursday night's presidential debate with former President Donald Trump, often losing his train of thought through the course of the 90-minute televised event. However, he later said he "did well" and quipped "it's hard debating a liar".

There is growing concern among Democrats following the 81-year-old incumbent’s repeated moments of forgetfulness onstage, sparking internal discussions about finding a replacement for him as the party's 2024 presidential nominee, according to DailyMail.

When inquired about the increasing pressure from Democrats for him to withdraw from the race, and whether he is worried about his debate performance, Biden claimed, "No. It’s hard to debate a liar. The New York Times pointed out he (Trump) lied 26 times.”

Internet agrees with Biden for claiming 'it’s hard to debate a liar'

One X user remarked, "Not sure what he’s supposed to say. Admitting it’s hard to debate a liar is pretty telling with how he thinks he did. He knows. It’ll be better."



 

Another user claimed, "I had so much trouble following what Trump was saying, I usually couldn't remember the questions he was supposed to be answering. Trump talked about events packed w/ lies & Biden had to figure out WTF he was talking about in order to respond. No way was it going to be easy."



 

Another user said, "This is objectively true. Donald Trump is a liar."



 

One user wrote, "It’s true. So President Biden stumbled a bit. Ok sure. But he answered questions and did not deflect and rant about other stuff. Trump could not answer."



 

Another X user quipped, "In fairness he is right about that. Trump can tell more lies in two uninterrupted minutes than any human being is capable of responding to."



 

Finally, this user tweeted, "At every exchange Biden starts by saying ‘he’s lying.’ Great format."
