 Stepping up to lead a nation in crisis, President Biden helped rebuild our country from the devastation of a pandemic and insurrection and years of Trump wreckage. Yet for more than a year, many Americans have indicated dissatisfaction with their choices in this election. President Biden has continued to run substantially behind Democratic senators in key states and in most polls has trailed Donald Trump. I had hoped that the debate would provide some momentum to change that. It did not. Instead of reassuring voters, the president failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump's many lies.
