President Biden’s halting performance during last night’s debate with Donald Trump left the Democratic Party in turmoil. You can watch my video report on the debate and read our coverage on how party officials are now trying to sort through the president’s prospects. 

We want to hear from you. What questions do you have coming out of the debate? 

What questions do you have about the election in general? 

I’m Damian Paletta, The Wall Street Journal’s Washington Coverage Chief, overseeing our political reporting. Ask me anything.

Edit, 3:00pm ET: I'm wrapping up now, but wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for jumping in and asking so many great questions. Sorry I couldn't answer them all! We'll continue to write about the fallout from the debate as well as all other aspects of this unprecedented election, and I hope you'll keep up with our reporting. Thanks, again.

No, I don’t think there will be another debate. Trump has no reason to debate Biden, unless Trump stumbles badly or his legal problems force him to need to shake up the race in some way.

Didn't they already agree to the second debate in September?

If the GOP believes Biden is weak they'd want to repeat this performance again closer to their election no?

It would stupid of them to do so, because Biden was so bad yesterday it's unlikely he'll be like that again. It would be giving him an opportunity to redeem himself. But I mean I hope they do, you never know what Trump might decide.

“Unlikely he’ll be like that again”

What in the world makes you think that?
