A co-chairman of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign says it’s unlikely that the president will be replaced by another Democrat after Thursday night’s debate performance.

Mitch Landrieu, national co-chair of the Biden Campaign, told CNN, “I don’t think that you can call the debate a great time for President Biden,” adding, “I think he had a rough time—there’s no question about it.”
