 This is All Things Considered from NPR News. I'm Juana Summers. And I'm Scott Detrow. President Biden's debate performance last night was halting. His voice was raspy. At times, he appeared to lose his train of thought. Even Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans described the high-stakes night as devastating. Today, at a much more high-energy rally in North Carolina, Biden acknowledged he had faltered. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to.
