Joe Biden’s new plan after debate catastrophe: stop doing events at night
And the 81-year-old president said he is still ready to defeat Trump. He told the governors he just needs to get more sleep and stop holding events after 8pm, according to the outlets.
(Biden’s disastrous live debate last week began at 9pm.)

The solution was not well-received by governors present for the statement, according to CNN. Biden’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider about the reports.
Biden’s campaign had previously chalked up the poor performance to a cold and jet lag from international trips he had taken days earlier.
According to Politico, Biden’s family has privately blamed top aides including his senior adviser, Anita Dunn, Biden’s lawyer, Bob Bauer, and Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, for his lagging performance.
For now, Biden’s political allies and surrogates are publicly backing him. That’s even true after the governor’s meeting.
“The president has always had our backs,” Maryland Governor Wes Moore told reporters. “We’re going to have his back as well.”
Other governors said they would support Biden as he remains the nominee.
But the leak about Biden’s planned break from evening events probably will not help calm nerves about his mental capacity.
A growing number of House Democrats are questioning whether he should just step down, and key Biden ally congressman Jim Clyburn discussed supporting US Vice-President Kamala Harris if Biden were to step aside, a signal that the once-unthinkable is now being considered.
One representative told CNN anonymously that House lawmakers are giving Biden space to decide what to do next.
Meanwhile, Biden has a high-stakes event to plan for. On Friday, he will have a taped interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, an opportunity to prove he is up to the task of running for president – or a chance for a gaffe that could torpedo his campaign.
