People are saying he was sick. Hoarse voice, noticeable cough, aloof, etc.

But then wouldn’t he have been sick for this as well? Unless he got miraculously way better in less than 24 hours. I’m a Biden supporter but I’m just confused as hell (as to what happened at the debate, not who I’m supporting in November).

Edit: thank you for those who left some insightful comments. I just hope if this was isolated, that he makes a great comeback next time. We need Trump to fuck off forever.

You can see him coughing at 2:42 and some other places in the vid.

this is the real-time fact-checking we missed from CNN.

Not to mention he's usually in bed by that time of night. He's an octogenarian, after all, and is usually pretty sharp for a man of his age, but as a good bit younger man, I know I'm not at my best at times I'm normally asleep either.
