First off, love Jen Psaki, she is one smart cookie. As for Biden, my feeling is that a bad showing, once does not make it so. The best thing is to look at how Biden does on the day to day. Even Obama had one bad showing at a televised debate, yet, he still won. So the best is do a wait and see.
I think it's a fool's errand to make a rash, quick decision over what is often considered a one off performance. That said, WE need to not reelect Trump back into office.
At the end of the day, with both candidates, their age is definitely a potential liability, but I find Biden's is less worrisome than Trump's due to the fact that I'd rather have Kamala Harris become our president, should Biden were to die while in office. Trump's running mate, whomever it may be, can, and is likely to be just as evil and will work to take down America should Trump pass while in office. I'd rather have Biden and end up with Kamala as president to finish out the term at the very least.
But as has been said before, WE the people are now the front line to ensuring our democracy is saved (or not), Biden and others can help out, but we are it if we want to keep our country free.

Brian, Not totally agreeing with your guest as one, I don't agree that Biden should never have run. Unfortunately, there was no one else BUT Biden on the Democratic side, whilst there were something like a half dozen contenders, along with Trump on the Republican side. Unfortunately, no one could match the Donald and had to drop out, but that may well have been a plan, so to speak anyway.
I DO think many in the media did try to smother what Biden did, especially in his first 2 years and folks thus forgot what all did go down and was accomplished, even if it at times did not feel like it affected folks much. I felt those changes, and now am the recipient of the ACA due to disabilities, but we need to reign in medical costs for certain as that is part and parcel will go a long way to convincing folks that the ACA is beneficial. That said, I do agree that Biden could have done more to reign in costs overall though.
I'm not one to count my chickens before they hatch and felt the Democrats for demanding Joe to step down, when it seems it was cold medications that affected him at the debate, but when HE decided, on his own terms to step down and then nominate Kamala to run, then I was like, OK then. I voted for her and Tim.
Anyway, seeing already some fallout from those that voted for Trump within individual families, in other words, consequences to their choices as it affects us ALL.
I started out voting for Reagan in 1984 for my first major election as an eligible voter, but by the early 90's switched to Democrat and have been Democrat ever since. Even then, some 30+ years ago, it was obvious that the Republican party was riding roughshod over the Democrats, and the Dems let it all happen by not having any spine to stand up to the other party. I think when JFK went into office in the early 60's, the Democratic party slowly lost touch with the middle class and the Republicans supposedly was for the middle class, but it was all lip service, and has been for 50 years as they jump into bed with the Evangelicals and Fundamentalist right.
While I do prefer the Democrat party, I think they lost the plot by trying to be all cerebral, at times lean too progressive for their own good. If anything, Biden should not have pushed EV's like it was as one, most of us can't afford them, let alone want them and preferred our ICE engined cars, and some are still driving old, high mileage vehicles because one, we can, and must due to the costs of cars now.
Anyway, off my soap box.
