As OK! previously reported, several Democratic leaders and media pundits admitted that Joe didn't come across well at all during the debate. Several high-profile individuals in the party have even called for the president to drop out of the race so that another candidate can take on Donald in November.

Outlets quoted one party leader declaring, "Biden is toast," while another quoted an adviser of prominent Democratic donors who was even more direct in their assessment of the situation, stating, "Our only hope is that he bows out, we have a brokered convention, or dies. Otherwise, we are in serious trouble."
