Reactions to the debate

Republicans: Kamala Harris should impeach Biden

Republicans in the US House of Representatives want Kamala Harris to invoke the Constitution's 25th Amendment to impeach Joe Biden. This is reported by USA Today.

- I do not believe that the president we saw last night is capable of carrying out his duties as commander-in-chief. I think the vast majority, if they're honest, agree, says Republican Chip Roy to the newspaper.

The 25th amendment means that the vice president, along with a majority of the federal government, can declare the president "unfit to govern." Presidential power is then taken over by the vice president.

Chip Roy has introduced a motion in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the amendment.

Joe Biden's performance in the night's debate has been described today as everything from "weak" to "disqualifying". Kamala Harris has praised Biden several times after the debate.

Biden: I'm not a young man - but I'm not lying

Joe Biden has no plans to drop out of the presidential election after tonight's debate against Donald Trump. He says this during a campaign meeting in North Carolina.

- I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easily as I used to, I don't speak as softly as I used to, I don't debate as well as I used to. But I'm telling the truth, Biden says to cheers from the crowd.

According to several media outlets, Biden's performance during the debate has triggered minor panic in the Democratic Party, and several heavy-hitters have demanded that he drop out of the presidential election.

However, it did not show at tonight's campaign rally in North Carolina, where supporters cheered after every statement.

- I wouldn't run again if I didn't believe in my heart and soul that I can do this job - the stakes are too high, says Joe Biden.

After the night's debate against Donald Trump, many analysts and commentators have described Joe Biden's performance as very weak. Several heavy Democrats and donors have openly demanded that Biden not stand in the presidential election.

Formally, it will be decided who will be the Democrats' presidential candidate at the party's convention in just over a month.

Homeless people may be banned from sleeping outdoors in the US

The US Supreme Court allows cities to ban homeless people from sleeping outside, even when the person in question has no realistic alternatives. Several media reports.

According to a previous decision of an appeals court, such a decision was inconsistent with the constitution and thus illegal.

Critics argue that such bans are anti-human.
