Despite her age, simply slowing down and saying less would have helped, a speech coach told BI.
Until President Joe Biden know his debate performance It was turned off.
Voters and lawmakers have long been concerned about Biden’s agenervous because he is slowing down and spitting about replacement candidates because of that.
But slowing down and saying less may have helped him perform better during Thursday’s debate, D.C. public speaking coach Carmie McCook told Business Insider.
“Less is always better. Always. The more you throw away, the more landmines you have to step on. Stay focused,” McCook said. “His team has to know if he has trouble staying focused, you just train, get back to the message… Don’t let the other person sit in the driver’s seat and dictate what you’re going to say.”
Viewers seemed to agree that former President Donald Trump won the debate, although he didn’t articulate himself very well either. Both candidates hope voters ignore its obvious flaws.
McCook said Biden also takes time to express his thoughts in speech due to his lifelong stutter, which hasn’t helped his optics.
“I’m sure he was tired because they were probably training him and he probably wasn’t feeling well,” McCook said. “He stutters and I work with a lot of people with the same problem. I know that sometimes it takes time for you to formulate your word, and it seems like you are lost in thought because you are trying to figure it out. , ‘What tongue muscles can I use or what alternative word can I use?'”
Max Burns, a Democratic strategist, said in X that Biden needs to attend rallies to “counter the rigid and meandering image he portrayed on Thursday.”
“Biden needs better (and frankly, less) preparation in the future. He was clearly bogged down trying to recite long lists of data points instead of engaging more organically, as he did in 2020. This can be worked on, but needs to start now,” Burns posted on X.
McCook made similar arguments.
“Slow down,” she said. “Take your time. Don’t let the other person get you down, because that’s what they’re there to do. Stick to the three to five main points and you’re good to go.”
