US, Dems “furious” over Biden’s attitude. Those anecdotes about the decline… –

Joe Biden’s performance has sparked discontent among the Dems. The leaders in Congress are said to be “furious” and “deeply concerned” by the attitude of the president of the United States in recent days, who has “denied” and “evaded” the problems that emerged during the disastrous presidential debate on June 27 with his predecessor Donald Trump. This is what the information site “Axios” writes, according to which some Dem legislators would like their leaders in the Senate and the House, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries respectively, to privately pressure Biden to withdraw from the race for the White House. The common concern is that Biden, in the event of a heavy defeat in the vote on November 5, could drastically reduce the chances of Democratic representatives and senators to be re-elected.

“I don’t know who makes the decisions,” admits a party representative in the House quoted by “Axios.” “Why isn’t Biden on the phone with our leaders in Congress? Everyone thinks he could cost us the majority.” According to the portal, the US president has not yet contacted the Democratic leader in the House Jeffries. In private, the legislators exchange anecdotes about Biden’s physical and mental decline, and discuss their fears that the family is carefully avoiding a confrontation between the president and the most skeptical figures within the party regarding his candidacy. Among these seems to be former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who yesterday on the broadcaster “MSNBC” defined it as “legitimate” to ask whether Biden’s disastrous performance in the confrontation with Trump was “an episode” or “a chronic condition.”

Speaking to reporters at a campaign event yesterday, the White House chief attributed the problem to the fact that he had “traveled around the world a couple of times” before the debate. “I didn’t listen to my staff, and then I almost fell asleep on stage. That’s not an excuse, that’s an explanation,” Biden said, who had, however, spent two days of rest in Delaware and six days of preparation at Camp David before the debate with Trump. In the meantime, again according to “Axios,” the Democratic Party’s major donors are considering investing in the candidates for the House and Senate rather than Biden’s campaign, in order to contain the effects of a second Trump term that is considered “increasingly likely.”
