Joe Biden’s debate performance landed him an unlikely endorsement: Tommy Tuberville.
Alabama’s senior senator laid the sarcasm on thick when he “praised” Biden’s verbal sparring with Donald Trump Thursday night in Atlanta.
“Great job tonight, Joe Biden,” Tuberville, a Republican and staunch ally of Donald Trump, said with zero hint of sincerity. “You should definitely continue running for President.”
Between a raspy voice and several verbal stumbles, Biden struggled during several points of the debate. CBS News, 45 minutes into the debate, reported that “a source familiar with the president’s debate prep confirmed that Mr. Biden has had a cold for the past few days. Hence the raspy voice.” CBS News said souces say Biden tested negative for COVID.
Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., said Thursday night’s presidential debate could not provide a clearer difference between Biden and Trump.
Biden projected weakness while Trump articulated policies that are “what American families want,” Alabama’s junior senator said shortly after the debate ended.
“There couldn’t have been a more stark contrast tonight. On one hand, you saw a dithering and diminished President struggling to stand by his failed record,” Britt tweeted, using the same language she did to describe the president when she gave her response to Biden’s State of the Union address.
“On the other, President Trump made it crystal clear that he’ll restore secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense,” Britt said. “That’s what American families want.”
She said Trump landed a “resounding victory” with his performance.
“Congratulations to President Trump on his resounding victory in tonight’s Presidential Debate,” she said. “The Biden-Harris experiment has failed. It’s time to return strength to the White House.”
