my dull explanation is that the debate was just so bad that it was undeniable to everyone watching that there's something horrifically wrong with biden's brain. then stories and speculations about biden's mental decline immediately starting gaining clicks and views, and the media, in their chase for profit, responded in turn
i also think some of the journalist and media people who threw their weight behind the 'biden has to go' camp are now personally miffed that biden is refusing to step down. like it's sorta become an ego/reputational thing for them too
