Republicans are lashing out at CNN anchor Jake Tapper for his supposed efforts to “save” President Joe Biden during the first of two scheduled debates with former President Donald Trump.
Biden seemingly lost his train of thought during the debate on Thursday while speaking about his plans for spending money saved by reversing Trump-era tax cuts that he said “benefited the very wealthy.”
“We’d be able to wipe out his debt,” Biden said. “We’d be able to help make sure all those things we need to do: child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system.”
“Making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the … with the COVID, excuse me, with um, dealing with everything we have to with, uh …” he continued. “Look, if we finally beat Medicare …”

Tapper, who moderated the debate alongside co-anchor Dana Bash, was criticized by some for cutting the president off just after he mentioned Medicare.
“Thank you President Biden,” Tapper said while Biden was seemingly mid-sentence. “President Trump?”
“@jaketapper saves Joe Biden again!” former Trump administration official Richard Grenell wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter. “Biden glitched – he was mumbling. A real debate moderator would have jumped on it to ‘what did you say?’ Jake ends it and saves him.”
. @jaketapper saves Joe Biden again!
Biden glitched – he was mumbling.
A real debate moderator would have jumped on it to “what did you say?”
Jake ends it and saves him.
