Former U.S. President Barack Obama acknowledged President Joe Biden's poor debate performance but reaffirmed his support. Obama emphasized that this election remains a choice between someone who has dedicated his life to ordinary people and someone who is self-centered.

Former U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday acknowledged Democratic President Joe Biden had a "bad" debate performance against Republican Donald Trump on Thursday but he maintained his support for Biden. "Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know," Obama said on X.

"But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself," Obama posted, adding: "Last night didn't change that."
