WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family on Sunday…
The family has already arrived at Camp David. There will be no aides. This is strictly a family decision They will give the president their advice but the first among equals is Dr. Jill Biden. “The decision-makers are two people — it’s the president and his wife,” one of the sources familiar with the discussions said. If she says stay in (and all reporting elsewhere is that she will), the president will stay in.
This account of a president and his party in crisis…is drawn from interviews with more than a dozen Democratic officials, operatives, aides and donors.
This NBC report also reveals that despite the president’s strong performance Friday in North Carolina,
Biden was described by one person familiar with his mood as humiliated, devoid of confidence and painfully aware that [of] the physical images of him at the debate…
…
“Democrats need to take a big breath and look at that polling, look at swing voters,” said one state Democratic Party chair.
…
Notably, however, [Biden campaign chair Jen] O’Malley Dillon nodded to the possibility that there might be some tough polling ahead — but said the blame will rest with the media: “If we do see changes in polling in the coming weeks, it will not be the first time that overblown media narratives have driven temporary dips in the polls.”
A great scoop by the Peacock.
