As revealed in the book "Original Sin" by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, President Joe Biden faced significant struggles in his debate preparations before his matchup with Donald Trump. His advisers were left anxious and uncertain due to his fatigue and lack of preparation upon returning from Europe. The practice sessions showcased a decline in his performance, marked by a raspier voice and inability to deliver effective responses. Additionally, his illness further compounded the challenges faced during the crucial pre-debate preparations, highlighting the administration's concerns about his readiness.
In the mock debates, Biden's performance ranged from bad to passable, with his voice hard to hear and answers all over the place.
Advisers told him his mouth was agape when he wasn't speaking and urged him to close it, while his delivery was halting.
