There is mounting concern within the Democratic Party’s leadership regarding President Joe Biden’s recent debate performance, with top officials reportedly downplaying its impact. DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison’s Saturday call with influential committee members sparked criticism for not addressing Biden’s weak showing or the ensuing backlash. Many members expressed feeling disregarded, contributing to a sense of panic among elected officials and donors. Despite calls for Biden, 81, to step aside in favor of a younger candidate, his allies remain steadfast in their support.
