Nikki Haley issues stern warning to Republicans after Biden's disastrous debate against Trump

Nikki Haley has issued a stern warning to Republicans after President Biden's disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. 

The former Republican nominee hopeful took to X to share her thoughts following the pair's showdown on Thursday night.

'Mark my words Biden will not be the Democrat nominee,' she wrote. 

Republicans, get your guard up!'

Her comments were echoed by Democrat pundits who posited that he could be replaced following his dismal performance.

The car crash showing saw a hoarse Biden struggle to clear his voice immediately after taking the stage, and he continued to go down hill during the 90-minute primetime face-off on CNN.

He then lost his train of thought and stumbled over his words multiple times. His team blamed his weak voice on a cold.

Even Vice President Kamala Harris was forced to admit that the president got off to a 'slow start'. 

Former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama David Axelrod conceded that Biden's first performance was damaging right from the beginning of a debate that has sent shockwaves through the liberals.

'I think there was a sense of shock actually how he came out at the beginning of the debate, how his voice sounded, he seemed a little disoriented,' he said on CNN, noting there would be 'discussions' in the party after the debate about whether Biden should continue his run for reelection.

Kate Bedingfeld, a former White House communications director for Joe Biden also panned the performance from her former boss.

'It was a really disappointing debate performance from Joe Biden,' she said. 'I don't think there is any other way to slice it.'

 Biden defended his debate performance, saying he did 'well' and said he was not dropping out of the race.

Biden, along with wife Jill, stopped at a Waffle House in Atlanta to pick up some food for the plane ride to Raleigh, N.C., where they have a campaign event tomorrow.

'I think we did well,' Biden told the press traveling with him.

When asked about the calls to drop out and whether he has any concerns about his performance, Biden said: 'No. It’s hard to debate a liar. The New York Times pointed out he lied 26 times.'

He did admit to being sick, saying 'I have a sore throat.'

Haley was in the running for the Republican nomination until March when she suspended her campaign.

There had been some speculation that the former Governor of South Carolina could be selected as Trump's running mate after she bowed out.

However, this was quashed by Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. who said his father had already decided on a candidate, who would be in attendance at the debate on Thursday night.

Biden's team prefaced his performance by pointing out he had a cold. The president also defended his performance and insisted he would continue in the race

Haley has since said she plans to vote for Trump in November , despite the presidential hopeful ridiculing her throughout the race.

A few days ago, Trump's potential Vice President pick was narrowed down to three names from a previous seven.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) are the three remaining contenders.
