President Joe Biden’s family used a Sunday gathering at Camp David to urge him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite his dreadful debate performance, and some members criticized how his staff prepared him for the faceoff, according to four people familiar with the discussions.
Biden spent the day sequestered with first lady Jill Biden, his children and grandchildren. It was a previously scheduled trip to the presidential retreat in Maryland for a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
But the gathering was also an exercise in trying to figure out how to quell Democratic anxiety that has exploded following Thursday’s performance.
While his family was aware of how poorly he performed against Donald Trump, they also continue to think he’s the best person to beat the Republican presumptive nominee. They also believe he is capable of doing the job of president for another four years, according to the people who were not authorized to speak publicly about internal discussions and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Not it wouldn’t. A different candidate results in much higher odds of beating Trump. Do you actually want to beat Trump? Biden has done some good things but he will not be remembered for that if his elder abusing family gets their way.
That is absurd.
Biden led a good first term with many solid beneficial policies, let him lead a second good term.
You are high as a kite if you think replacing a known candidate with solid support 4 months before an election is a good election strategy.
It’s a terrible idea and puts the Democrats at a significant disadvantage showing political instability, poor decision making and confusing builders.
It’s a terrible idea to unnecessarily replace a good president.
Biden already hurt his numbers tremendously by supporting genocide. Now you’re asking we support elder abuse as well? Polls have shown choosing other candidates help Democrats. Not sure why we should support elder abuse as well when it also hurts our own chances of even beating Trump. I think the only people in denial are the ones saying Biden should stay in. Maybe go look at some polls. Or we can bury our heads in the sand and blame Progressives and Palestinians when Biden loses, sort of like Dems blaming Bernie supporters in 2016.
He doesn’t support genocide, he’s actively against it.
The only people that believe that are idiots voting against him anyway.
Pulls are idiotic and do not predict anything useful.
You’re repeating bandwagon myths and making inaccurate assumptions.
He doesn’t even admit it is a genocide.

As I said, you are naking things up to serve your rapist traitor hero.
Thanks for agreeing.
Something something glass house and throwing stones.
You’re both asses here. One is also a liar. Mr. Richard - don’t threaten to abuse the report feature to win arguments. Also, stop with misinformation.
Varyk - Stop with rhetoric that will goad people into fights.
First, last, and only warning.
Can you tell me what you think I said that was misinformation? The genocide? Do you consider the opinion of world courts?
Show me where Biden says “I’m not that P word”.
Here, I’ll make it easy:

Before I report you for abusing this community’s rules how about you just move on and you can vent your frustration internally over Biden’s historically significant terrible debate performance.

I think this one gets paid to be argumentative or something. Just block em.
By all means, go tattle on me for correcting your inaccuracies.
You haven’t corrected anything. You just hurl insults without facts. But let’s not be children okay. Maybe Biden losing if he stays in will be your defining moment.
If you think what Biden is doing is “supporting genocide”, I’m quite sure you don’t want to see what other candidates will do. 1
