Sara Haines asked those close to Joe Biden to have the "very hard conversation" that he must step down. "Democrats need to stop spinning the age problem," she added.

"Joy Behar at 81 is not Joe Biden at 81 and that was on full display last night. But let me be clear, if November comes and President Biden and President Trump are on the ticket, I will 100% be voting for President Biden, because the alternative is too scary for me, but I fear many people in this country do not feel the same way," Haines added. 

Alyssa Farah Griffin was in 'shock' after watching the Biden-Trump debate

"I’ve had concerns for a couple of years about Biden’s age. It was stunningly worse than I expected, the performance," Griffin said.

Sunny Hostin conceded Joe Biden 'lost that debate'

According to Sunny Hostin, Joe Biden "lost that debate." She repeated the sentiments expressed by several Biden supporters in the media when she said, "Maybe he needs to go."

Ana Navarro says she isn't giving up on Joe Biden until the president asks her to

Co-host Ana Navarro, a token Republican on the program who backs Democrats, wasn't prepared to end the show, despite Sunny Hostin's belief that both parties should look to change the top of their tickets.

"I love Joe Biden, and I’ve known Joe Biden for over 20 years, I’ve never seen Joe Biden like I saw him last night. It is worrisome, but … until Joe Biden tells me he is giving up, I’m not giving up on Joe Biden," Navarro said.

"He looked elderly yesterday, he sounded elderly, he is elderly, but the choice is no different, he is a very old man versus a very bad man," Navarro said. "I’m not going to judge Joe Biden on 90 bad minutes."

Griffin disagreed and said the "stakes are too high" for Democrats to stick with Biden.
