Biden bad debate weeks

The Biden campaign team is working to motivate staffers as President Biden faces ongoing calls to withdraw from the race following his poor debate performance.

“We had two very, very, very hard weeks, very bad weeks,” Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told staff on a call, according to Axios. “I told you I’d level with you, they’ve been bad f—ing weeks,” she said.

Reports of both White House and campaign staffers feeling demoralized and “miserable” about Biden’s candidacy have increased significantly in recent weeks.

“This two-week window has really sucked, and it is hard, there is no doubt about it. And it’s hard for all of us because we are doing the job,” she said to staffers. “If we can get through these two weeks that we’re living through, we can get through anything.”

Staffers were also advised to ignore the “crazy f—ing gossip land world,” as media speculation about replacing Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate grows.

O’Malley Dillon shared that Biden political advisor Mike Donilon is saying in meetings that “he’s never seen a presidential candidate have more thrown at him than Joe Biden and do you know what Joe Biden does every day? He gets up and he keeps fighting.”

Addressing concerns over Biden’s poll numbers, O’Malley Dillon acknowledged that some post-debate polls in battleground states show Trump leading Biden. For example, a poll conducted by Republican pollsters Fabrizio Ward and Democratic pollsters Impact Research on behalf of AARP found that Trump tops Biden 50%-45% among likely voters in Wisconsin.

“[W]e definitely saw a little bit of slippage, but nothing significant, nothing massive, no bottom falling out,” O’Malley Dillon said of Biden’s polling numbers after the debate. “What you are seeing in the public polling in the last couple days is what we are seeing in our polls,” she continued. “What we are seeing is that this is still a margin of error race.”
