US President Joe Biden still plans to participate in a second presidential debate in September despite his "lackluster" performance in the first face-off with former President Donald Trump as part of the 2024 election cycle, CNN reported on Friday, citing a Biden adviser, Paralel.Az reports citing Sputnik.

The adviser acknowledged that Biden's performance in Atlanta was "lackluster" but said the campaign is committed to highlighting the moments it believes worked for their candidate and then moving on, the report said.

The adviser recalled that former President Barack Obama was also dissatisfied with his own performance during the first debate, but he still won reelection.
