Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Thursday night’s debate, in which Biden tripped over his words and at times struggled to complete a thought, played into one of Republicans’ biggest electoral arguments: that his age disqualifies him from another term in the White House. But it also raised Democratic fears that a wounded presidential campaign will drag congressional candidates down with him.
“Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown want to talk about their own records and they want to talk about the bulwark of goodwill they’ve built up over several terms even though their states are or have become more conservative,” Reinish explained. “What they don’t want to do is answer questions about Joe Biden for the next four months.”
Senate incumbents in tough reelection battles have previously downplayed questions about Biden’s mental acuity in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Hur’sthat found charges were not “warranted” over Biden’s mishandling of classified documents but raised questions about his memory. Some are concerned an unforeseen consequence of Biden’s debate performance could be that the fundraising to down-ballot Democrats could take a hit.
