Following a challenging debate performance last week, President Biden’s family is rallying behind him, encouraging him to persevere in the race despite the setback. While privately expressing frustration at his debate preparation, they remain steadfast in their belief that he can demonstrate his ability to serve the country for another term.
Fighting Democratic Anxiety
President Biden sought solace and counsel from his wife, children, and grandchildren at Camp David as he navigated the aftermath of the debate. Acknowledging his subpar performance against former President Donald J. Trump, his family remains determined to showcase his capabilities to the nation.
Exploring Next Steps
Amid discussions with advisors on the way forward, considerations include holding press conferences or interviews to reshape the narrative. However, no definitive plans have been finalized yet.
Family Support
Son Hunter Biden, a trusted advisor to the President, is a vocal advocate for his father staying in the race. Hunter emphasizes showcasing President Biden’s strengths and command of facts. Other family members are exploring avenues to contribute, with a grandchild expressing interest in engaging with social media influencers to bolster the campaign.
Democratic Reaction
Democratic discontent was evident when prominent donor John Morgan pointed fingers at advisors involved in debate preparations, including Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, and Bob Bauer.
