Biden clan endorses candidate at Camp David

For now, by decision of the family clan Joe Biden remains in the race for the White House. During a complex Sunday at his second residence in Camp David after more than seven campaign events in less than 48 hours, the President of the United States received the support of those who most influence his decisions, his sister Valerie Biden and the First Lady, jill biden. His son also supports him. Hunter Biden.Therefore, your trusted team and your most loyal allies They try to reassure voters, legislators, and donors The former leader of the House of Representatives maintained that “you cannot evaluate a presidency by a debate.” Nancy Pelosi“Let’s talk about what this means in people’s lives.” For now the damage control strategy seems to be working, at least for the gallery. Because the truth is that the image behind the scenes, as leaked by the country’s mainstream media, is far from clear. Many Democrats are deeply horrified by their leader’s performance and are looking forward to the November 5 election with fear.

The main problem is that changing your candidate is neither easy nor safe. First, because it will only be possible if Biden himself decides to withdraw, which at the moment does not seem likely to happen, at least in the short term. Second, because if he drops out of the race, the Democrats They don’t have any young and strong alternative Who can guarantee better results than the current candidate. The strategy for now is to weather the storm and move on.

The President’s decision to stay in the election race has support the person who has the most influence on himFirst Lady Jill Biden. Several officials and advisers to the president say he and the team that helped him prepare for the debates are not being fair to the Democratic candidate. Some also see the First Lady as a powerful shadow political force that will allow her running mate to take a step back. It is in her hands whether Biden withdraws from the race or continues to fight despite his 81 years of age and low popularity ratings.

But there is a complaint from the Biden family, and it is against the team in charge of preparing the president on the night of that ill-fated debate. According to sources close to them, the Bidens believe that it is time to fire one of the main advisers because he should not have allowed the president to debate so late (9:00 p.m. in the United States, 3:00 a.m. I’m in Spain), in a state of little rest and little preparation. Some of the names they point to are those of an advisor anita dunnHer husband and the president’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer (who was in charge of the impersonation Donald Trump during practices before the presidential debates), and former Chief of Staff, Ron Klainin charge of directing the sessions. However, the media PoliticalBased on sources consulted in the White House environment, it is assured that it is unlikely that Biden will do anything without them.

For its part, the US leader’s campaign team blames the organization that led the debate, since according to what they say the moderators should have verified the false data launched by Trump during his intervention – the following day, the verification systems of several media published that several statements were not real – Finally, no one explained to Biden which camera would be pointed towards him when it was not his turn to speak – claiming that this is why at times he seemed lost. In addition, they claim that the CNN makeup team in charge of organizing the debate made him look very pale. Some officials believe that admitting defeat is not useful, especially when Biden himself had accepted the conditions of the debate before traveling to Atlanta. An attitude that does not help anyone avoid disaster in the next debate, which if held, will take place on September 10.

Another big concern for the Democratic Party is campaign donors. Many hours have been devoted to them in the days following the debate. Calls are coming in constantly with a clear message: Biden is still the candidate and can resist a second term. But hopeful talk is not reassuring the millionaires who provide financial support. For now, few have come out publicly to defend their leader. They are cautiously awaiting more data when the results of several surveys come out in the next two weeks.
