The big story to emerge from CNN's debate Thursday night was the panic after deadly early stumbles from President Biden set the tone for debate coverage though his performance improved as the debate went on.
Calls for Biden to drop out have dominated post-debate coverage. The president's performance at a debate watch party following the debate, at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, and at a Stonewall commemoration over the weekend contrasted sharply with what viewers saw during the debate.
President Biden's campaign has also sought to highlight that Trump rattled off as many as 50 falsehoods without being challenged, which has been a secondary storyline of the debate.
KASIE HUNT: What do you say to people who feel like they are being gaslit or somehow lied to or told that what they seem to see with their own eyes isn't actually the case? SEN. CHRIS COONS: So here's what we're seeing on the screen that you're showing right now, a president who is frankly thunderstruck by just how aggressively Donald Trump is lying about everything from January 6th to when there's a record deficit.
