Democrats at a raucous viewing party in Atlanta weren’t just unimpressed by President Joe Biden’s rocky performance — they told DailyMail.com they loved it.
“I think Biden did a really good job. He came out. He was very clear about what his message was. And he proved that he’s not too old for the job,” said Kenneth Royal, a 42-year-old running for county commissioner in Dekalb County.
The party had an open bar – a food service with tacos, chicken dishes and pie – and an energetic DJ, who belted out the best songs from a table wearing giant aviator sunglasses after the 90-minute showdown.
Attendees cheered for Biden and booed former President Donald Trump during the closing minutes of the confrontation, then gleefully joined first lady Jill Biden in calling the Republican a liar.
“What did Trump do?” she asked, as she walked onto the stage alongside the president for a scheduled post-debate appearance at a downtown Hyatt.
“Likes!” the crowd shouted back.
The 81-year-old president took the microphone and said he was going to quote a movie, then suggested Trump was a “lying, dog-headed soldier.”

“What’s going to happen in the next few days is they’re going to fact check all the things he said.”
“I can’t think of one thing he said that was true,” the president added cheerily.
Biden supporters agreed with the president’s views.
“I think he just said a bunch of nonsense and didn’t really stay on topic,” Alexandra Young, 28, an associate at Emory, said of Trump. “There was no real answer to any of the questions.”
Young was the one who interviewed Biden supporter DailyMail.com, who worried that his actions may have hindered his message.
“I worry that it doesn’t reflect well on him,” Young said. “When Trump speaks, he doesn’t make sense, but he speaks with great confidence and power, so people mistake that for the truth and intelligence.”
She then pointed to Biden and explained that “when you have someone who knows what he’s talking about” but doesn’t get the message across very well, “it kind of gets lost in the crowd.”

Maya Eatmon, a 46-year-old from Atlanta, also said she believed Biden was doing a “really good job.”
“I think he kept his cool and he really hit President Trump when he called him a criminal,” the healthcare technician noted.
Eatmon shrugged off Biden’s coughing and shaky speech — sending other Democrats into a panic.
“I just think it was probably the weather in Georgia,” she said. “I think it was nothing but the weather.”
‘Depending on when you travel a lot – and you end up in a different climate. I think it was just the climate. He needed some water,” she added.
