Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said in an interview that aired Tuesday he plans to talk to President Biden soon to give him an assessment of his “standing” with Americans in the wake of the president’s rough debate performance.
“I did plan to … talk with him later today or … tomorrow morning,” Clyburn said in an interview with “The Hill” on NewsNation’s Blake Burman. “And I’m gonna tell him what I really feel.”
Clyburn said he will tell the president “what his standing is with the American people” from the South Carolina Democrat’s perspective.
Clyburn is often credited with the current president’s 2020 South Carolina primary win, which gave him momentum toward securing his place atop the Democratic ticket that year. However, a shadow has been cast over Biden’s reelection chances in the last week due to the president’s poor debate performance, in which his voice was raspy and he stumbled over the words.
In the interview on “The Hill,” Clyburn acknowledged that last Thursday night’s debate was “a bad night” for the president.
“I do know this: I think that the American people want an explanation; they need to be reassured, and I hope that over the next several days, we’ll do that,” Clyburn said.
A few Democrats have either called on Biden to withdraw from this year’s presidential race or be replaced at the top of his party’s ticket following Thursday’s debate, including former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who has thrown his support behind Vice President Harris to replace the president.
“Harris has significantly grown into her job; she will destroy [former President Trump] in debate, highlight [the] choice issue, energize our base, bring back young voters, and give us generational change. It’s time!” Ryan wrote in a social media post Tuesday.

There is a theory that anybody not named Biden will beat Trump, it is a false narrative; the Democratic vote this year is 43% due to what they have done past 3.5 years. Changing top guy, is to cut their loses in the house and senate. Bookmark this...it is to help with turnout, that is all.
This whole debate stuff is a plan unknown to Biden who is a fool (I don’t know how he got elected and so many votes, TDS must be real SAD)...they wanted to make expose him and them dump him...they thought people would not notice...but only hardcore Democrats are stupid not independents and Republicans.
It was Clyburn, who was the kingmaker in 2020. He single-handedly gave us Joe demented Biden. And now he has come up with a new plan whatever that is? The Democratic Party has more to worry about than Joe Biden. I’m going to really enjoy the Democratic convention in Chicago. It’s going to be for sure a 1968 rerun.
Clyburn is barely a step up from Hank Johnson on the intelligence scale. But I’m sure JoeK will have to bend the knee to him to keep that demographic on the Plantation come Nov. Quiting the race probably isn’t on the table for JoeK so it will be interesting to see what Clyburn will walk away with in terms of enrichments.
Is Clyburn gonna axe him a kwershun?
And Clyburn has been saying that his demands are still the same re: Harris...this time with her at the top of the ticket.
Harris for Pres!!!
That would be so hilarious to watch
Oh, yes, please! Let Kamala take over! She’ll beat the socks off Trump! GUFFAW!
The democrats’ dream for Americans is a full blown nightmare ……
How to manufacture a candidate. Are these people serious? Kumalot couldn’t bring a herd of starving cows into their stalls with buckets of alfalfa. Maybe she’s doing to Clyburn what she did to Willie’s willie. One day she’s a do nothing puppet, the next she’s been groomed by the so-called best politicians and elitists and is now some experienced super woman candidate. Lies, lies, all lies.
Humpty Biden sat on a wall.
Humpty Biden had a great fall.
All the President’s horses & all the President’s men
Couldn’t put Biden together again.
The first party to get Tulsi on their team wins she is the calm voice of reason that will float all boats. Even if RFK claims Tulsi in some capacity he’d win. Young people and women love her.
Give Biden a cognitive test? Have any of them thought of this?
A fine one to cast his line into the water. Spit.
Jill's response that that idea, "Over your dead body."
YouTube + Elsa Kurt + Kamala.
We now know it was just jet lag that put Brandon off his game at the debate.
kwertshtun - the way my old SGM used to say it.
Clyburn is an ass. Him giving advice, and being termed a “kingmaker” is an insult to the reader’s intelligence.
Little Jimmy pushin’ dem “civil rights” credentials. All of the real civil rights boy have passed on.
