In a recent report, it has been revealed that House Democrats have expressed private concerns over President Biden's chances of defeating Donald Trump in November following his lackluster debate performance. Despite these worries, Democrats publicly maintain their unwavering support for Biden.
According to NBC News, sources close to the president have described his mood as "humiliated" and claimed that he appeared "devoid of confidence" after the debate. However, these sources also emphasized that the only person with ultimate influence over the president is the first lady, Jill Biden. If she decides that a change of course is necessary, it may lead to significant developments in his campaign.
President Biden and his family are reportedly planning to discuss the future of his campaign informally during their time at Camp David on Sunday. However, sources familiar with the matter have stated that the discussion will likely be an afterthought rather than a formal or determinative one.
Biden himself addressed his debate performance at a rally in North Carolina, admitting that he is not as physically or mentally sharp as he used to be. Nevertheless, he emphasized his ability to tell the truth and his determination to take on the job, stating that the stakes are too high not to. He also reassured his supporters that he wouldn't be running for re-election if he didn't believe he could handle the role.
During a speech at a New Jersey fundraiser, President Biden acknowledged his "not great" debate performance but highlighted research indicating that he was successful in converting more undecided voters than Trump. He argued that people tend to remember the negative aspects of Trump's presidency, particularly the events of January 6th.
Despite these performance concerns, the Biden campaign announced that it has raised an impressive $27 million since the debate. However, the campaign did not provide an immediate comment regarding the recent revelations and concerns raised by House Democrats.
As the presidential election draws closer, it remains to be seen how President Biden and his campaign will navigate these challenges and regain confidence among Democrats who worry about his ability to defeat Donald Trump.
