No doubt calming the pre-debate jitters of many Americans who support him, Joe Biden has demonstrated that he will not let former pro-wrestling promoter Donald Trump use ring bombast and trash talk to shove him around.

"Last night's debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues," the group said in a statement, adding it was "carefully considering the changes that it will adopt and will announce those measures shortly."

Biden said in a campaign stop on Wednesday that he hoped organizers of future debates would be able to turn off the microphone of the candidate who is not speaking.

"It was a national embarrassment," Biden said of the debate and Trump's performance. "I am not going to speculate what happens at the second or third debate."
