Sources told the outlet that Biden is reportedly “dependably engaged” between the hours of “10am to 4pm.”
The sources added that “outside of that time range” or even when Biden is traveling abroad, “verbal miscues” and fatigue are more likely to occur.
This comes after Biden appeared to freeze and looked confused during the presidential debate, which began at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday against former President Donald Trump.
Biden also spoke with a hoarse voice, mumbled, and repeated debunked claims like the “very fine people” hoax and the “suckers and losers” false claim.

Several donors have also been sent into panic mode after seeing Biden’s poor debate performance and have called for him to drop out, while others have reportedly backed away from Biden.
Despite these concerns, the Biden campaign has maintained that Biden is “not dropping out” of the presidential race. Former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton issued statements of support after Biden’s performance at the presidential debate.
