‘10 minutes to destroy a presidency’: how US and global media reviewed the Biden-Trump debate

Headlines echoed Democrats' anxiety that Biden is too cognitively weak and physically frail for another term

US voters woke up to post-debate reviews of the first Biden-Trump debate with headlines that echoed Democrats' anxiety that the incumbent president is too cognitively weak and physically frail to sustain another five months of political campaigning or another term in office.

Those anxieties, multiple outlets reported, were being reflected in pressure from Democratic donors and former Democratic officials who are now openly talking about replacing Biden with an alternative presidential candidate at the party's convention in Chicago in August.
