In one instance, 81-year-old Barbara Goldberg expressed discomfort with Biden's statement during the debate: "We finally beat Medicare." Goldberg reportedly put her head in her hands and repeated Biden's words as she watched the event unfold.

"We finally beat Medicare?" she said. "I don't like to see [Biden's] gaffes, but I don't like to see Trump going haywire and cockamamie either."

Another resident, 81-year-old Meg Maguire, noted Biden's age as a factor in his performance. "I do think Biden's age is showing at this debate, and it pains me," she said.

Maguire also observed Trump's more engaging physical demeanor during the debate. "In terms of just physical relationship to the camera, Trump is doing better," Maguire said.

Claire Moses, 83, emphasized Biden's lack of performance skills. "Let's face it, a debate is a performance," Moses said. "Biden is not a good performer."

However, Moses acknowledged Biden's accomplishments as president. "I'm very sad tonight because I think that Biden is a great president, and he is a great president because of what he has done, what he has accomplished, not how he speaks."

Political commentators and journalists also weighed in on Biden's performance, with some calling for him to withdraw from the 2024 race.

"If Biden truly believes Democracy is on the line, he should step aside and let another Democrat step in to take on Trump. Put the country first," Alyssa Farah Griffin of "The View" said.

Vox correspondent Eric Levitz wrote: "Joe Biden should save his legacy by ending his candidacy."

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

In addition to the concerns raised by senior citizens, Biden's debate performance also sparked a media meltdown, with many commentators criticizing his表现. Some argued that his gaffes and lack of focus were indicative of cognitive decline. Others pointed to his age as a potential liability in the upcoming election.

While the debate has undoubtedly raised questions about Biden's fitness for the presidency, it remains to be seen how these concerns will translate into electoral support. The next presidential election is still two years away, and there is plenty of time for the political landscape to shift. However, the debate has certainly provided Trump with an opportunity to paint Biden as weak and incompetent. It remains to be seen how Biden will respond to these attacks and whether he can convince voters that he is still the best candidate to lead the country.
