In a recent communication to its supporters, the Biden campaign has been seen desperately trying to manage the fallout from President Biden’s disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump. The email, a sad attempt at damage control, begins by acknowledging the intense criticism and concern that has followed the debate: “If you’re like me, you’re getting lots of texts or calls from folks about the state of the race after Thursday. Maybe it was your panicked aunt, your MAGA uncle, or some self-important podcasters. It’s a tough position to be in, so I thought it might be helpful to send you a few responses.”
This desperate plea comes after last week’s first presidential debate, which left Democrats wringing their hands in worry.
Even CNN’s John King couldn’t ignore the panic among party strategists, elected officials, and fundraisers. They were clearly shaken by Biden’s lackluster performance and its potential impact on down-ballot candidates.
The campaign email tries to paint a different picture, claiming that “the debate started rough,” but insists that the real threat is Donald Trump. It urges supporters to ignore calls for Biden to step aside, dismissively referring to such critics as part of the “bedwetting brigade.”
The email goes on to argue that if Biden were to withdraw, it would result in chaos and further weaken an already floundering Democratic Party. It states: “Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly.”
It then warns that replacing Biden would lead to internal conflicts within the party and leave the eventual nominee in a weak position for the general election, with minimal campaign funds and a divided party.
The email ends with a dire warning: “All while Donald Trump has time to speak to American voters uncontested. All of that would be in service of a nominee who would go into a general election in the weakest possible position with zero dollars in their bank account. You want a highway to losing? It’s that.”
This feeble attempt at damage control by the Biden campaign only serves to highlight their desperation and lack of confidence in Biden’s candidacy. As they scramble to maintain party unity, it’s clear the Democrats are on shaky ground as we head towards the election. Keep an eye out for more updates as the political landscape continues to shift!
