The broad conclusion among Democrats is that a dangerous and misleading caricature of the president’s performance is at risk of setting in.
arrived in the Diplomatic Reception Room on Thursday evening aiming to demonstrate that what the special prosecutor had written about him in a report released earlier that day — that Biden was a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” — was false.“I am well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing,” declared Biden, who was, by turns, feisty, funny and sharp.
The Thursday evening tableau was emblematic of the challenges facing Biden’s reelection bid and the broader concerns roiling the Democratic Party, as many donors, operatives and voters have real concerns about how Biden’s age will impact his electability and privately say they wish he was not the party’s nominee.
But unless polling starts tilting in Biden’s favor, the Democratic Party is likely to be rife with second-guessing and self-doubt — a situation made worse by the insular nature of Biden’s orbit and deliberate pace of the Biden campaign build-out. Lower-level White House staff were also offended and fired up about Hur’s report, which they viewed as petty and dishonest.
The White House continued its pushback effort on Friday, with Vice President Harris and other surrogates condemning the tone and content of the prosecutor’s report, while reaffirming its central finding that Biden should not be charged with a crime and that Trump’s handling of classified documents was different.
Republicans were quick to fan the flames, with the Republican National Committee blasting out a faux-Biden campaign sign with the slogan, a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
