Obama to Biden's rescue: 'Bad debate nights happen, Trust me'

Biden's support marked a shift in the Democrat narrative which was in favor of an alternative candidate as soon as the debate ended, but hours later it threw its weight behind Biden -- making it clear that Biden will not opt out of the contest. Biden too -- in his rally in North Carolina-- acknowledged his age-related frailties and said he was aware that he was not a young man and could not debate as he used to, but he knew his job, he knew the right and the wrong.
