In light of President Joe Biden’s lackluster debate performance, his family convened at Camp David to discuss the possibility of firing key aides and making changes to the campaign team. The family members, including First Lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden, and their grandchildren, expressed their unequivocal support for the president in his bid for reelection, according to advisers who spoke with CNN.
The frustrations directed toward the team that prepared President Biden ahead of his debate with former President Donald Trump prompted discussions on whether any top advisors should be fired and whether adjustments should be made to the campaign staffing. Among those criticized were senior adviser Anita Dunn and her husband, Bob Bauer, who is President Biden’s personal attorney.
Despite the backlash following his debate performance and lobbying from leftist media outlets for him to withdraw from the race, CNN’s Kayla Tausche reported that there were no plans for the president to step down. Instead, he remains committed to participating in a second debate scheduled for September 10, hosted by ABC News.
Tausche pointed out that while some staffers on the campaign and in the White House had previously worked on President Obama’s reelection in 2012, even after his low-performing first debate, no one from his own party called for him to resign. This highlights the precarious position corrupt Democrats find themselves in now, with many feeling fatalistic about what happens next and questioning whether any improvement can be made in the remaining time leading up to Election Day.
Although President Biden’s family expressed support for his reelection bid, frustration among some Democratic Party members is growing, as they worry about the implications of another weak debate performance in September. It remains to be seen if any significant changes will be made within the president’s campaign team or if the preparations for the upcoming debates will be revamped in order to avoid a repeat of the underwhelming first encounter with former President Trump.
