After a disastrous debate performance, President Joe Biden met with Democratic governors to address concerns about his ability to serve and campaign for re-election. During the meeting, Biden joked about needing more sleep and limiting evening events after 8 p.m. to ensure he is fit and rested. Despite some concerns from lawmakers about the potential impact on handling crises, the campaign defended the remarks, stating that presidents need a balanced schedule.
Following the debate, Democrats have expressed frustration with Biden’s performance and how the White House has handled the response. In an effort to do damage control, Biden is set to do an interview with ABC News. Some lawmakers doubt whether this will be enough to address the issues raised.
While some allies continue to provide staunch support for Biden, others have raised concerns about his ability to win in November. However, they have not called for him to step aside as the nominee. Overall, the Democratic Party appears divided on how to move forward with Biden’s campaign, but supporters like California Governor Gavin Newsom remain hopeful that Biden can rebound and be re-elected as President of the United States.
