Geoff Garin, co-chief strategist for Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign, took to social media platform X to combat criticism of President Biden's debate performance on Thursday night.

"The freak out over the debate is way overwrought," Garin insisted. "Biden got off to a slow start but he had a strong finish."

"Trump was increasing incoherent and deranged as the debate went on, and Trump's extremism was on full display," Garin wrote.
