BBC World Service - BBC OS, Biden's allies divided over debate performance

US Democrats are discussing Joe Biden debate performance

US Democrats are discussing whether Joe Biden can continue as the party's presidential candidate.

President Biden's allies are divided in their response to his faltering performance in the first of his televised election debates with Donald Trump. Some Democrats wondered openly about changing their candidate, although the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, quashed suggestions that he could take Mr Biden's place. We bring together voters to discuss what they thought about the performance and what they think should happen next. 

James Reynolds is in the English city of Bradford, talking to voters about the issues they care about ahead of the UK elections next week. The Labour Party currently enjoys a massive lead in opinion surveys over the Conservatives, who have been in power for fourteen years.

Presenter: Lukwesa Burak.
