前总统乔·拜登将自己在2024年与总统唐纳德·特朗普的辩论中的灾难性表现轻描淡写为“影响并不大”，随后遭到猛烈批评——尽管他在那场辩论仅24天后就退出了总统竞选。
Former President Joe Biden is facing sharp backlash after dismissing his disastrous 2024 debate performance against President Donald Trump as "not very consequential" — despite dropping out of the presidential race just 24 days later.
《人物》杂志周三刊登了一篇采访。当被问及如今对2024年6月27日那场辩论持什么“看法”时，拜登暗示他认为自己的辩论表现无关紧要。
When asked about what his "perspective" on the June 27, 2024 debate is now in an interview with People Magazine released Wednesday, Biden suggested he felt his debate performance was inconsequential.
“你看，我不认识有谁在辩论中没犯过错，”拜登对《人物》杂志说。“对我来说，那场辩论影响并不大。首先，我以为还会有另一场辩论，但并没有。”“不过，尽管事实上没有另一场辩论，这也没有困扰我，因为它影响不大，”他补充道。拜登的言论周三在社交媒体上迅速招致批评。
"Look, I don’t know anybody who hasn’t made a mistake in a debate," Biden told People Magazine. "To me, it was not very consequential. First of all, I thought there’d be another debate, which there wasn’t." "But notwithstanding the fact that there wasn’t another debate, it didn’t disturb me because it wasn’t consequential," he added. Biden's comments drew swift criticism on social media on Wednesday.
“乔·拜登现在声称，他在2024年与特朗普总统的总统辩论影响并不大，而正是那场辩论迫使他退出竞选，”前特朗普竞选团队成员史蒂夫·科尔特斯周三在X平台上发帖写道。
"Joe Biden now claims his 2024 presidential debate against President Trump, which forced him to drop out of the race, was not very consequential," former Trump campaign operative Steve Cortes wrote Wednesday in an X post.
“在那场‘影响并不大’的总统辩论仅仅24天后，乔·拜登就终止了自己的总统竞选，”科尔特斯补充道。
"Just 24 days after the 'not very consequential' presidential debate, Joe Biden ended his campaign for President," Cortes added.
保守派评论员史蒂夫·格斯特在X上写道，拜登“完全是在妄想”。与此同时，前全国共和党参议院委员会高级顾问马特·惠特洛克周三在X上发帖断言，那实际上是史上“影响最大”的总统辩论。
Conservative commentator Steve Guest wrote on X that Biden "is TOTALLY delusional." Meanwhile, former National Republican Senatorial Committee senior adviser Matt Whitlock asserted in a Wednesday post on X that it was actually "the most consequential" presidential debate of all time.
“这毫无疑问是历史上影响最大的总统辩论——如果没有那场辩论，他（拜登）很可能仍是提名人，”惠特洛克说。“但我现在肯定很期待书里其他的惊人观点。”“这是历史上差距最悬殊的辩论。得了吧，老兄！”佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯打趣道。
"It was without question the most consequential Presidential debate in history - he [Biden] likely would have stayed the nominee without it," Whitlock said. "But I’m definitely excited for the other hot takes in the book now." "It was the most lopsided debate in history. C’mon, man!" Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis quipped.
在那场总统辩论中，拜登说话磕绊、长时间停顿，并面露困惑的表情。
During the presidential debate, Biden stumbled over his words, paused for long periods of time and displayed confused facial expressions.
乔·拜登和吉尔·拜登的办公室没有立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
The Office of Joe and Jill Biden did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
“拜登随后于2024年7月21日退出总统竞选，此时距那场辩论仅过去几周，民主党盟友要求他结束连任竞选的施压日益加大。”
"Biden subsequently dropped out of the presidential race on July 21, 2024, just a few weeks after the debate, amid mounting pressure from Democratic allies to end his re-election bid. Former first lady Jill Biden notably claimed in a CBS News Sunday Morning interview clip released in May 2026 that she thought her husband was having a stroke on stage during the debate.
前第一夫人吉尔·拜登曾在2026年5月发布的哥伦比亚广播公司《周日早间》采访片段中特别表示，她认为丈夫在辩论期间在台上中风了。特朗普的白宫没有立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
Trump's White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Additionally, Biden said Sunday that he plans to scale back public appearances promoting his new presidential memoir, "Promise Me, America," due to his cancer battle. "My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it.
此外，拜登周日表示，由于正在与癌症抗争，他计划减少为宣传新总统回忆录《答应我，美国》而进行的公开露面。
It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation," Biden said in an X post.
“我的总统回忆录《答应我，美国》将于11月17日出版。希望你们读一读。书中讲述了我担任总统的岁月、我们面临的挑战、我做出的决定以及我为何做出这些决定。它关乎我们作为一个国家是谁，”拜登在X平台的一篇帖子中说。“我们代表什么。以及美国在世界上的角色。”
"What we stand for. And America's role in the world." "While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families," the former president added. "My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment.
“在写这本书期间，我被诊断出患有癌症，这是数百万美国人及其家庭再熟悉不过的疾病，”这位前总统补充说。“我的医生对我对治疗的反应持续感到鼓舞。你们这么多人的祈祷、善意的话语和美好祝愿，对我和吉尔以及我们的家人意义之大，你们永远无法知道。有些日子好一些，有些日子差一些。它没有阻止我。但有时它会让我慢下来。”
And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know. Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down."
