After the debate, Democratic politicians are disappointed in Biden's performance in the debate. Some have even questioned whether Biden should remain the party's nominee.
Biden appeared on stage with his mouth open, as if staring at something. His tone was choppy, and at times he seemed to be having trouble finishing his thoughts. There were also some concessions on issues such as abortion, where the Democratic Party has an advantage.
"It's hard to argue that Mr. Biden should be our nominee," said a person who has been involved in election campaigns at all levels for more than a decade.

The past 36 hours showcased two Joe Bidens: the veteran president rallying voters in a swing state, and an 81-year-old man struggling to string thoughts together in a debate.
Why it matters: The public split screen isn't new to many inside the White House, where top aides have meticulously stage-managed minutiae such as Biden's sleep schedule, his orthopedic shoes, his walks to Marine One and his climb aboard Air Force One to try to blunt concerns about his age.
But Thursday's debate has shattered the White House's efforts to show Biden at his best: a president capable of serving until 2029, when he'd be 86.
Driving the news: In his debate against Donald Trump, Biden often looked lost or slack-jawed, and delivered meandering answers in a hoarse voice.
What they're saying: White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Axios that there "is one Joe Biden, who works his heart out fighting for families like the one he grew up in in Scranton, and who, because of his determination, experience and decency, keeps achieving unprecedented results for them."

According to CNN, on June 30, President Biden's family gathered at Camp David, the president's private mountain retreat, to discuss the upcoming election campaign. Mrs. Jill, her son Hunter, and others reportedly urged President Biden to continue his campaign.
Furthermore, on the same day, leading Democratic politicians, including Representative Jim Clyburn, Senator Chris Coons, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, announced their support for President Biden.
Given these points, it seems unlikely that President Biden will withdraw from the presidential race any time soon. However, there is a certain possibility that he will withdraw his candidacy before the Democratic Party convention in August. For the Democratic Party, it becomes Plan B, an alternative plan for the presidential election.
President Biden has already won enough delegates in the Democratic Party's primaries and caucuses to secure the nomination. Therefore, in order for the Democratic Party to select someone to replace President Biden as its presidential candidate, President Biden must first decide to withdraw from the presidential race. If President Biden were to drop out of the race before the Democratic National Convention to be held in Chicago in August, the party convention, which is normally just a ceremony to elect a president who has already been de facto decided, would have to elect a new candidate. It will turn into a fierce election battleground.
The delegates who were supposed to vote for President Biden will all be neutral delegates who will vote at their own discretion. Therefore, those who aim to replace President Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee will be encouraging these delegates to vote. As a result, party conventions could become the scene of intense election battles and cause divisions within the party.
