The Biden family have used a gathering at Camp David to urge him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite a dreadful debate performance.
US President Joe Biden’s family used a weekend gathering at Camp David to urge him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite his dreadful debate performance, with some members criticising how his staff prepared him for the face-off, according to four people familiar with the discussions.
A drumbeat of calls for Biden to step aside has continued since and a post-debate CBS poll showed that just 28 per cent of registered voters believed Biden should be running for president, including only 54 per cent of the president’s own party. Some 72 per cent said Biden didn’t have the mental and cognitive health to serve as president.
Biden’s campaign has spent the days since the debate, where he appeared raspy, trailed off, and at times gave convoluted answers, working to keep donors and surrogates on board. Former Iowa senator Tom Harkin, who served for more than two decades with Biden in the Senate, called the debate “a disaster from which Biden cannot recover.”
