Joe Biden has reportedly told a key ally he may not be able to continue with his 2024 campaign if he cannot change the American electorate’s mind about his health and well-being with his next handful of public appearances, the first indication from the president that he understands the seriousness of the damage done by his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in Atlanta, Georgia, last week.
But Biden also said on a call with White House staff on Wednesday: “No one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”
He's got this shit backwards...
He's got this outdated view based on boomer logic of what voters want.
Most voters are under 40 this election, at our oldest we were we teenagers during 9/11. Most literally can't remember pre 9/11.
We don't want a leader that displays strength by a refusal to listen to the public. One that makes up their mind and charges ahead no matter what
If Biden had came out the next morning after the debate and said that first paragraph at a press briefing. It would have helped his numbers with that demographic more than anything else. And that's who he struggles with, he can't afford not to have them because trump has 65 and up.
But if he just straight up said:
I fucked up, give me a chance to prove myself or I'll step aside.
That's the type of presidential shit that voters who grew up post 9/11 and have since learned how wrong it was want. Instead of what the narrative has been the last week, everyone would have been hyping his appearances and "giving him a shot" he'd have completely drowned out trump in coverage, but this time for a good reason.
Like, he's running against trump, it's not hard to come up with shit like this, but this is what happens where you stop listening to anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you. It's a spiral lots of people fall into when they become wealthy/powerful/successful
You hit the nail on the head. The fact that he hasn’t come out and said anything himself speaks volumes. everything is behind closed doors or through a prepared speech. We want proof that the man is able to speak publicly without someone feeding him information and he refuses to demonstrate that to us.
