The apparent cognitive decline of Biden, evident during the debate, has left many dismayed and fearful. Democrats are now reportedly scrambling to find a replacement for the 81-year-old leader.
According to Gateway Pundit, the Polish new liberal government was one of the few that openly addressed the issue. Poland's Foreign Minister made a thinly veiled comment, stating, "It's important to manage one's ride into the sunset." Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also expressed his apprehensions. As reported by Bloomberg, Tusk said, "I was afraid of this, in the sense that it was to be expected that in a direct confrontation, in a debate, it would not be easy for President Biden." When asked if Democrats need to change their candidate, Tusk responded, "They definitely have a problem. These reactions are unequivocal."

Interestingly, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was recently reelected, is said to favor Trump. Indian officials, speaking anonymously, noted Biden's lackluster performance and Trump's energy. They are now watching to see if California Governor Gavin Newsom emerges as a potential replacement. During Biden's term, Modi often displayed his discomfort with Biden. This recent debate has only served to underscore the concerns of U.S. allies and adversaries alike, casting a shadow over the future of U.S. leadership.
