Biden Told Ally That He Is Weighing Whether to Continue in the Race
SUMMARY
President Biden has confided in a 'key ally', to whom he revealed his innermost concerns about salvaging his candidacy after a poor debate performance in Atlanta. This conversation is the first public indication that Biden is seriously considering his ability to recover. The ally, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, reiterated that Biden remains deeply committed to his re-election fight. The president understands the critical importance of his upcoming appearances, including an interview with George Stephanopoulos and campaign stops. "He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place," the ally noted, referring to Biden's halting and unfocused debate performance.
