NEWS FLASH: Biden seems to have decided what he wants to do about the 2024 election after having a heart-to-heart with Hunter.
According to the New York Times, President Biden plans to stay in the race for president. He made this decision after talking about his political future with his family at Camp David on Sunday.
Biden huddled with his wife, children, and grandchildren at Camp David on Sunday as he tried to figure out what to do next after a terrible performance in the debate on Thursday night.
The New York Times reported that his family is well aware of how badly he did against former President Donald J. Trump, but they said he could still show the country that he can serve for another four years.
Reports say that the president is also asking his advisors for advice on what to do next. His staff has also been suggesting that he do interviews or a press conference to change the story.
Reports say that Democratic donors, strategists, and elected officials have been talking about replacing Biden. In response, the president’s staff has been “burning phone lines over the weekend” to keep key allies from leaving him.
A person who was at the meeting said that President Biden’s son Hunter Biden was one of the loudest people asking him to stay in the race. The New York Times said, “Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows—brave and in charge of the facts—rather than the stumbling, old president that Americans saw on Thursday night.”
Other members of the president’s family also tried to cheer him up and offered ways they could help. Talking to social media stars is one way that at least one of Biden’s grandchildren wants to get more involved with the campaign.
A fight has broken out in the Democratic Party over President Biden’s decision to keep running for office. Another big donor to the Democrats, John Morgan, publicly blamed some of the president’s advisors for Thursday night’s performance. He gave the names of Bob Bauer, Anita Dunn, and Ron Klain.
Mr. Morgan wrote on X, “Biden has been fooled for too long by the value of Anita Dunn and her husband.” “They need to leave TODAY.” It is gross to swindle. It was bad behavior in politics.
In a follow-up interview, Morgan said the same thing again. He said, “It would be like putting a prizefighter who was going to fight for a title in a sauna for 15 hours and then telling him to go fight.” “I think the only people in question are Ron Klain, Bob Bauer, and Anita Dunn.”
Biden’s family members are also said to be to blame, along with Biden’s advisers like Dunn and her husband Bob Bauer, who acted as former President Trump during debate practice.
Although Klein, Bauer, and Dunn did poorly, President Biden does not seem to be blaming them. A source told the New York Times that the president still has faith in them. “No one was happy with how the debate turned out, and it was human nature to look for someone to blame,” said a person close to Biden.
Klain didn’t say anything about the talk about getting ready for the debate, but he did say that he was sure Biden would stay in the race. Klain told the New York Times, “He is the leader of the Democrats.” “We are getting more support than ever from small donors.” The debate night was bad. But campaigns are won by people who don’t give up when things get tough.
