Multiple sources on a call with DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison say it left them feeling that they were being asked to ignore the dire nature of the party’s predicament
A sense of concern is growing inside the top ranks of the Democratic Party that leaders of Joe Biden ’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee are not taking seriously enough the impact of the president’s troubling debate performance earlier in the week.
Instead, the people said, Harrison offered what they described as a rosy assessment of Biden’s path forward. The chat function was disabled and there were no questions allowed. Many are anxiously awaiting the first major round of post-debate public polling to determine their next steps. Biden and his campaign have sought to project confidence in the days since Thursday’s debate in which the president, who already faced serious concerns about his physical and mental stamina, offered a performance punctuated by repeated stumbles, uncomfortable pauses, and a quiet speaking style that was often difficult to understand.
