I re-watched the debate
clip, and noticed something. Wallace pushes for the condemnation of white supremacy, Trump says "sure", and then Wallace keeps pushing him to actually do it. At this point, Biden turns to look at Trump, something he's been avoiding all night in favor of staring straight ahead.
When Trump says "give me a name" to condemn specifically, it was actually
Biden who suggested the Proud Boys. So Trump fires off "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by, but I'll tell you what, somebody has to do something about Antifa!"
And Biden breaks into the biggest smile of the night.

I think this was a setup. Biden was prepared for this, he specifically wanted to get a PB condemnation out of Trump tonight. When he got it, he got the "mission accomplished" attitude and let Wallace roll with the rest. Trump took the bait, and that "non-condemnation" is all the talking heads are focusing on. Now the PB themselves seem to be taking the bait as well.
I don't know what the end game is, but this was clearly a goal of Biden's performance tonight. He wasn't going for canned zingers like a normal debate prep. He was going for traps, and this one snagged its target.
