There were two general reactions from Democrats (and some media) in the days following President Joe Biden’s abysmal performance in the June 27 presidential debate against Donald Trump.
The first was full-fledged panic and appeals for Biden to drop out of the race. That included editorials and commentary from some of the most noted newspapers and newsmakers in the country.
The other was a more measured approach, one that chalked it all up to Biden having a bad night. But along with that thinking were calls for Biden to become more visible. CNN’s Jake Tapper suggested that Biden have a no-constraints, no-time-limit press conference where he could show his strength, stamina and acumen.
Instead, Biden’s first major moment — and first on TV — to address everything was an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, which aired last Friday night.
