Biden restored global confidence in America: Blinken

Blinken remarked that global observers focus on Biden’s overall achievements rather than a single debate performance…reports Asian Lite News

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended President Joe Biden’s performance in last week’s debate against Donald Trump, emphasising the positive impact of Biden’s policies over the past 3-1/2 years. Despite global media criticism of Biden’s debate showing, Blinken, speaking at a Brookings Institute event, highlighted the president’s successful reinvestment in American leadership, alliances, and partnerships.

Blinken remarked that global observers focus on Biden’s overall achievements rather than a single debate performance. He noted that confidence in American leadership has significantly increased, reflecting the administration’s effective policies and engagement. Blinken stressed that Biden’s actions have brought people together to address shared challenges.

The debate, held last Thursday on CNN, left many Americans dismayed with both candidates. Biden, 81, stumbled over answers, while Trump, 78, repeated debunked claims about the 2020 election without rebuttal from Biden. Blinken reiterated the importance of Biden’s track record in office and downplayed the debate’s significance.

Global media reactions were harsh, with France’s Le Monde likening Biden to a shipwreck, Britain’s Daily Mirror calling his performance a “gaffe-strewn nightmare,” and Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald asserting that “Trump monstered Biden.” Concerns about Biden’s age have led some Democrats to urge him to withdraw from the race.
