However, many critics point out that his performance only did more to deepen those fears among voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018From the very first moment, Biden looked old, hard to understand, confused, saying scary things, and just throwing mud,\u2019 Fox Business\u2019 Larry Kudlow said shortly after the debate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote-text\">\u2018I\u2019ve lived four years with Trump, I lived three and a half years with [Biden].
