I stuttered until 4th grade. I still have issues when I am tired or stressed. I have met Joe twice in person at fundraisers and we discussed stuttering at one fundraiser Joe told me that he has issues when he is tired. Joe discussed the 20+ young stutterers he keeps track of and I was the recipient of a Biden hug.
I heard Joe use a couple of the coping tricks a couple of times but you had to know what to look for to notice these struggles. I am so proud of Joe.

(14,565 posts)It was actually the main reason I did not watch the debate. A high profile stutter segment would have been big news, if Trump had been otherwise judged to win the debate.
I was kind of relieved in watching threads here, with no mention of a lengthy Biden stutter or gaffe. Minus that I knew Biden would do fine.
Now I'm taping the debate and will watch tomorrow.

I'd prefer to listen to anyone that needs the time to organize their thoughts and be honest in contrast to a moron who spouts lies continuously as Trump did tonight in his performance. Trump has four years in office, but he reminded me of the apprentice with his lack of civility.
