At a Camp David gathering on Sunday, President Biden's extended family urged him to ignore the growing number of voices asking him to quit the race - and many of his loved ones blamed his disastrous debate on his advisors.
En route to Camp David from the Hamptons, Joe and Jill Biden exit Marine One on Saturday with granddaughters Natalie and Finnegan The reports will strengthen a growing sense that Jill Biden is putting her own interests above that of her humiliated and failing husband.
With Biden having spent a full week at Camp David gearing up for the debate, his family members and others are claiming the team worked the 81-year-old too hard, and tried to pack him full of too many statistics.
John Morgan, a top donor and friend of Biden's brother Frank, was not at the family meeting, but joined the delusional pile-up on Biden's advisers, telling the Times that the week-long debate prep - which involved rehearsals at various times of the day - was excessive: "It would be like if you took a prizefighter who was going to have a title fight and put him in a sauna for 15 hours then said, 'Go fight.' I believe that the debate is solely on Ron Klain, Bob Bauer and Anita Dunn." Unlike his family, the president is said to still hold confidence in the trio.
Klain assured the Times that Biden will see the race through, saying, "He is the choice of the Democratic voters...We had a bad debate night. But you win campaigns by fighting - not quitting - in the face of adversity." Husband-and-wife Biden adviser team Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer Of course, Biden is "The choice of Democratic voters" largely because the Democratic National Committee made sure he was the only choice available.
The poll found 41% of Democrats think Biden lacks has the requisite mental and cognitive health.
The family gathering at Camp David was reportedly scheduled before the debate, with the expectation that it would be a celebration of his performance and an opportunity for the extended Biden family - including his children and grandchildren - to be photographed by famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.
