Biden on phone call: ‘I'll be damned if we're gonna lose this nomination’

Former Vice President Joe Biden — after his pair of devastating losses — tried to reassure supporters on an evening call Wednesday that “things haven’t changed” and that there’s been “no dropoff in our endorsers.”

Arguing that the primary is “still wide open,” Biden said he was "confident we can win South Carolina. I think we'll win Nevada, but it is a caucus which is a little bit different,” according to a recording of the roughly 13-minute call obtained by POLITICO.

Biden has long said he would perform better than his rivals once the primary reached more diverse states, particularly South Carolina. His campaign sees that state as a "launching pad" to Super Tuesday success.

But a looming Mike Bloomberg and poor showings compared to other fellow moderates Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar in the first two states has Biden's campaign on edge.

"The point is that, I want you to know [is] that things haven't changed in terms of responses we're getting, in terms of whether it's contributions online or whether it's endorsements since both of those primaries have taken place,"he said.

Biden said he has raised more than $4 million online in the first 11 days of this month, including $453,000 online on Tuesday.

“So my point is that we've not seen any diminution in the energy or in endorsements,” he added.

Biden said he made clear to attendees at his South Carolina event Tuesday, which he left New Hampshire to attend, that the race “is just beginning and we're not anywhere near the end.”

“I'll be damned if we're gonna lose this nomination, particularly if we're gonna lose this nomination and end up losing an election to Donald Trump,” Biden said on the call, adding that he’s “not sugarcoating” his chances and that he “feels really good.”

His proposal is acceptable.

He’s apparently unaware that he’s already lost it.
