President Joe Biden spoke with a raspy voice when he took on a question from CNN host Jake Tapper on inflation during the presidential debate on Thursday.
Biden answered by taking a swing at former President Donald Trump.
“If you take a look at all that was done in his administration — he didn’t do much at all. By the time he left, things were in chaos,” the commander in chief said.
Biden has had a raspy voice and a cough for several weeks, and his apparent cold didn’t stop for the debate.
His voice sounds strained, and he coughed during the debate.
The Democrat is the oldest president in American history at 81, with his age being a frequent talking point ahead of the upcoming election.
