words and rambling a bit, admitting in the process that it was a less-than-great night for Biden. She said, “And I jus- — as you just stated, he did that. He — he talked about, he owned that the debate was not his best night. And it — and he said himself, it’s not an excuse, but it’s an explanation. I was standing here yesterday, and many people were asking why and what’s the explanation. And that’s what you heard from him.”
Continuing, KJP kept stumbling over her words and insisted that the jet lag was still somehow present, insisting, “Look, the two — I think, in addition to the two major trips, he was also doing — continued to do his presidential duties. He worked late in doing that, and he also prepared for the debate. And on top of that, there was, obviously, the jet lag, as you just asked — asked about, and also, he had a cold. And you all heard directly — you heard — you heard from him during the debate. He had a hoarse voice.”
KJP then retreated to the post-debate “cold” excuse given by Team Biden, telling Kim, “Many of you reached out to me and my team and some other members of the White House asking what was going on. We confirmed that he had a cold. And so, I think those two things — continuing, obviously, to do his duties as commander in chief, as the president.”
Concluding, she tried to end the ramble with continual uses of “And,” saying, “And so, I think some of you here in this room can certainly relate to, you know, what — what could happen when you’re having an important moment and you’re not feeling well. And, yeah — and also you wish you could have done better. And so, he took ownership. I think that’s important. And he’s going to continue to make a strong case for his agenda, and that’s what you’re going to see. And he was giving an explanation. And that’s what he wanted to do. He wanted to get that out there and for people to hear directly from him, as he has been doing since — since Friday of last week.”
