Former President Joe Biden is facing sharp backlash after dismissing his disastrous 2024 debate performance against President Donald Trump as "not very consequential" — despite dropping out of the presidential race just 24 days later.

When asked about what his "perspective" on the June 27, 2024 debate is now in an interview with People Magazine released Wednesday, Biden suggested he felt his debate performance was inconsequential.

"Look, I don’t know anybody who hasn’t made a mistake in a debate," Biden told People Magazine. "To me, it was not very consequential. First of all, I thought there’d be another debate, which there wasn’t."

"But notwithstanding the fact that there wasn’t another debate, it didn’t disturb me because it wasn’t consequential," he added.

Biden's comments drew swift criticism on social media on Wednesday.

"Joe Biden now claims his 2024 presidential debate against President Trump, which forced him to drop out of the race, was not very consequential," former Trump campaign operative Steve Cortes wrote Wednesday in an X post.

"Just 24 days after the 'not very consequential' presidential debate, Joe Biden ended his campaign for President," Cortes added.

Conservative commentator Steve Guest wrote on X that Biden "is TOTALLY delusional."

Meanwhile, former National Republican Senatorial Committee senior adviser Matt Whitlock asserted in a Wednesday post on X that it was actually "the most consequential" presidential debate of all time.

"It was without question the most consequential Presidential debate in history - he [Biden] likely would have stayed the nominee without it," Whitlock said. "But I’m definitely excited for the other hot takes in the book now."

"It was the most lopsided debate in history. C’mon, man!" Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis quipped.

During the presidential debate, Biden stumbled over his words, paused for long periods of time and displayed confused facial expressions.

The Office of Joe and Jill Biden did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"Biden subsequently dropped out of the presidential race on July 21, 2024, just a few weeks after the debate, amid mounting pressure from Democratic allies to end his re-election bid.

Former first lady Jill Biden notably claimed in a CBS News Sunday Morning interview clip released in May 2026 that she thought her husband was having a stroke on stage during the debate.

Trump's White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Additionally, Biden said Sunday that he plans to scale back public appearances promoting his new presidential memoir, "Promise Me, America," due to his cancer battle.

"My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation," Biden said in an X post. "What we stand for. And America's role in the world."

"While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families," the former president added. "My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know. Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down."

The NFL trade deadline has passed, contenders have bolstered their rosters, and now the mad dash to the playoffs truly begins as we head into Week 10.

Looking around the league, the NFC North has cemented itself as the best division in football. If the regular season ended today, all four teams would be in the playoffs, though there can only be one division winner.

Super Bowl-winning quarterback Nick Foles knows all about the battles that occur in the NFC North year after year, and OutKick asked him who he believes will come out on top in the division during a recent interview.

He didn’t say so specifically, but one of his former teams during his playing days is standing out right now. They also happen to be atop the division at 7-2.

"There’s something brewing in Chicago, even [Monday] night with, what was it, four interceptions or something? Caleb [Williams’] still slinging it. They’re playing and making plays. [Head coach] Ben Johnson is steady, calm, cool and collected. I think the big thing, too, is if anything happens in the game, watch how he handles the referees. He really doesn’t even mess with them — he’s on to the next one. He’s just locked in, and as players, you look at your head coach and how he responds.

"So, I look at that and say, ‘Man, this team is going to stay locked in. Calm, cool and collected.’"

The Bears are riding high on a four-game win streak, but have barely set themselves apart in the division because the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are 6-2, followed by a very good Green Bay Packers squad at 6-3.

But Foles sees something in the Bears this season that is different than when he was even there.

"Chicago’s always struggled with an explosive type of offense. They’ve always been a defensive, run-first-type of team. It’s different, man," he said. "Defense is locked in. Dennis Allen is holding it down. Offense is just how many points are they going to score? They can go off at any time, even if you throw four interceptions. They’re still so dangerous."

Foles, though, doesn’t want to discredit the rest of the teams in the division, especially the Vikings with an amazing defensive unit that makes them very scary down the stretch. They also just traded for quarterback Kirk Cousins a day after OutKick interviewed Foles.

"Minnesota Vikings defense, Brian Flores with what he’s doing there — it’s outstanding. Their offense will be their downfall — not doing anything really," Foles said. "I love the Green Bay Packers and how they’re playing right now. And Dan Campbell figuring it out with the Detroit Lions. That tenacity, the offense playing some good ball."

The best part about the NFC North: these teams have to face each other at least one more time. Those will be pivotal division matchups, as all four teams are gunning for a playoff spot.

But as we see in the playoff picture, there is a world where all of them come out of the NFC North and secure a berth to play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Only one team will have the home playoff game, though, with a chance to be home throughout the playoffs if things keep tracking.

Foles will get a good look at the Packers specifically during the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game in a couple of weeks on Nov. 25. Just as he did for the inaugural Australia game, Foles will be on the Netflix panel alongside Packers legend Clay Matthews, Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin and Elle Duncan.

U2 will also celebrate 50 years together from the 50-yard line, as they perform at halftime with special guests during this new NFL holiday tradition.
