LOS ANGELES , CALIFORNIA: Lara Trump expressed empathy for President Biden following his debate performance, stating, "I feel a little bit sad for him." Moments after the debate concluded, a host of Trump's allies flooded the CNN "spin room" at the McCamish Pavilion, exuding confidence and enthusiasm.

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, along with Representatives Byron Donalds and Matt Gaetz, Elise Stefanik, Vivek Ramaswamy, Cory Lewandowski, David Bossie, Stephen Miller, and Senator Lindsey Graham, strategically positioned themselves to convey their assessments.

Lara Trump questions Joe Biden's ability to lead amid health speculation

Lara Trump questioned Biden's ability to handle the presidency, suggesting, "As president of the United States, you have to adapt. If he had a cold, maybe that's what they're gonna tell people. But I don't think that the cold is the problem."

Reflecting on Biden's performance, Byron Donalds criticized, "Joe Biden was lost in several topics," pointing out how moderators repeatedly prompted Biden to conclude his answers within specific time limits. He elaborated, "They kept asking, I think the moderators asked him several times, 'You have 89 seconds left, you have 34 seconds left, President Biden. Do you want to add to your answer?' You can't have that in our country."



 

Expressing grave concern, Vivek Ramaswamy stated, "I think anybody who loves the United States of America today recognizes it is a national security threat for this man to be responsible for defending the United States of America." He emphasized, "This isn't just funny anymore. This is dangerous."

Afterwards, Biden's surrogates, including Senator Raphael Warnock and California Governor Gavin Newsom, faced a deluge of media attention upon their arrival, with reporters and camera crews surrounding them in a deep scrum, making it difficult for all perspectives to be heard.

Internet reactions criticize Lara Trump's remarks on Joe Biden

In response to Lara Trump's comments questioning Biden's ability to handle the presidency, social media users expressed a range of reactions, highlighting both criticism and skepticism.

One user wrote, "Lara trump can’t identify her own hypocrisy."

Another said, "She's lying 🇱🇷."

One user replied, "Trump didnt do good trump lied."

One replied, "All good points. But Lara please have a steak and a big order of pasta on the side."

Another added, "Is she on steroids."

However, there were also some users who supported Lara's criticism towards Biden. "Biden cant even talk. Really americans this is ur president?" One user trolled US President

Another slammed "Biden was pitiful"

One user said "Biden was up 3 points without a debate, so he may lose points but when push comes to shove in November, no one will remember or care about a debate.... Imagine someone supporting Biden then flipping to Trump because of a debate performance! If they did that, they were never serious about this election in the first place."

Another user slammed "Biden's biggest handicap is himself. What a debacle of a debate, he clearly has lost it, and this evenings performance will follow him on the campaign trail from here on in and beyond."
