A top Joe Biden backer in New Hampshire was blunt in his advice: Listen more. Talk less. Answer succinctly. Get your campaign operation organized.
LACONIA, N.H. — One of Joe Biden’s most high-profile supporters in New Hampshire warned the candidate during a one-on-one exchange Friday that he and his campaign need to make immediate changes to win the first-in-the-nation primary.and highest-ranking elected official in the state who’s endorsed Biden, spoke with the candidate before a town hall event here. D’Allesandro was blunt in his advice: Listen more. Talk less. Answer succinctly. Get your campaign operation organized.
The candidate then held an hour-long town hall that some attendees, including D’Allesandro, described as sleepy at times. Other prominent Democrats in the state agreed with the state senator’s overall critique of Biden, and noted his campaign appears less than organized. For example, key local Democrats were not sent invitations to Friday’s event.
The criticism comes as Biden’s campaign earlier this week downplayed expectations for both Iowa and New Hampshire, saying neither state is a must-win. While polling shows Biden in the lead in both states, no comprehensive poll has been done in either state for more than a month.
