If you haven't been watching the Univision FG of undecided Latino voters, nearly every single undecided voter said they now support Biden, not Trump! Latinos were watching and listening and Trump sounded like a crazy liar. Watch this video clip from @uninot pic.twitter.com/YvCNdHmUSJ

What I'd say is, Obama's first debate performance was awful, George Bush's first debate performance was a flop and in some polls twice as many viewers thought Kerry was better, Reagan had an awful first debate after concerns about his age. This shit ain't over until it's over, I doubt Trump gained many voters from that debate because he was also shit, he was just less shit than Biden but he looked like a rambling lunatic as per usual, didn't answer questions and spat out a bunch of lies.
I think the damage may be that independent voters won't vote for anyone based on that shitshow or simply vote 3rd party, so now it's time for Democrats to convince them once again to come and vote for Biden because Trump's a disaster in the making, it will require a big PR effort to make Biden look like he can govern irrespective of a shitty debate performance.
Anyway...

"I got a lot of emails in the last 24 hours asking whether there should be a public campaign to pressure President Biden to step aside after his (very) bad debate performance last night."
"I think such a campaign to get Biden to step down would be a bad idea."
