Joe Biden went into Thursday night’s CNN presidential debate hoping to assuage concerns over his mental acuity and fitness for office.

The FT’s deputy Washington bureau chief, Lauren Fedor, and Washington reporter, Steff Chavez, join this week’s Swamp Notes podcast to explain why. Credit: CNN Presidential Debate, NBC News, ABC News
