44. Explaining external circumstances is not the same as excused
Tue Jul 22, 2025, 03:15 PM

Joe Biden himself said he had a bad night. Hunter said in the interview that his dad looked like a "deer in the headlights." Doesn't sound like excuses to me. Sounds like acknowledgment that the debate was bad, and that--looking back--maybe scheduling it right after that sort of schedule wasn't the smartest move.
