Joe Biden’s performance at the CNN presidential debate against Donald Trump has raised concerns with US allies, particularly within NATO and Europe. Despite concerns about Biden’s age and speech performance, allies believe he surrounds himself with sensible people and will continue to make rational decisions.
US allies fear that instability in American leadership could create opportunities for adversaries like China and Russia to exploit weaknesses in the democratic system. Speculation about Biden’s ability to govern may lead to division and distrust, impacting crucial policy decisions.
These concerns highlight the importance of stability in leadership, especially during uncertain times. Biden’s performance has sparked questions about his suitability for the job and the ability to provide the stability needed by the West.
