Biden says he convinced more undecided voters than Trump during debate.
President Biden made headlines over the weekend with his bold claim that his disastrous debate performance actually helped convert more voters to his side than former President Trump. Speaking at a fundraiser at the home of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Biden admitted that his debate performance was lacking but insisted that polling data supported his assertion.
Despite criticism from major newspapers calling for him to drop out of the race, Biden remains committed to his presidential bid. The New York Times editorial board labeled his continued candidacy a “reckless gamble,” while the Atlanta Journal-Constitution urged him to bow out “for the good of the nation.”
Although external pressure mounts for Biden to reconsider his candidacy, top Democrats have publicly voiced their support for him. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jaime Harrison went on record to quell rumors of Biden’s replacement, asserting that the public still stands behind the President despite media speculation.
Harrison highlighted the unwavering support for Biden within the Black community, emphasizing the longstanding connection that Biden has cultivated with minority groups. He portrayed Biden as a champion of their causes, earning their loyalty and dedication in return.
In a media landscape rife with speculation and doubt, Harrison’s confirmation of widespread support for Biden underscores the resilience of the President’s base. The DNC chairman’s message serves as a reminder that, despite setbacks and challenges, Biden’s commitment to his constituents remains unwavering, ensuring that he will continue to fight for their interests.
