On Saturday night in the Hamptons, the buzz at dinner parties and restaurants was about President Biden’s performance at a local, upscale fundraiser, and traffic nightmares his presence caused.
While the president got largely good reviews — words like “strong” and “energetic” were used to describe his appearance at the private event after his Thursday night debate debacle — others weren’t so sure.
One political veteran told Page Six, “Most people said they felt better,” after seeing Biden, “but some felt worse.”
The unconvinced Democrat insider said that while some at the daytime event were reassured that Biden addressed his “bad” debate in his brief speech, “it was like he was putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound… He did not have a ‘bad’ debate, he was visibly unwell.”
Biden, 81, landed on Saturday in Westhampton Beach and headed to speak at the home of billionaire Barry Rosenstein. It was the first of two big Saturday events for Biden — despite some prominent national calls for him to step down after his alarming debate showing.
Many in the liberal Hamptons donor class said they were back on board with Biden, we hear.
“Biden looked and sounded good,” an attendee at the Hamptons event told Page Six, who added that the president gave a “short speech… but strong.”

One donor summed it up well:
“Biden did not have a ‘bad’ debate, he was visibly unwell.”
They ran out of pan seared wagyu beef segreto with maitake and compound butter before I even got there.
They’re rearranging the deck chairs on the U.S.S. Biden. But then it’s the Hamptons, so what one expect?
any $$$ given to Demented Joe now will just end up Hunters nose or in Jill jewelry box.
I know! Things are so tough in the Hamptons. Not only did they run out of the wagyu beef, but they also ran out of the Leroy Musigny Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits before I got there.
They ran out of the grilled salmon de Faroe with limon, herbs de Provence, and fresh dill for the pescatarians.
You’re killing me, Smalls!
And no more Grey Poupon!
Life is just unbearably hard in the Hamptons. I don’t know how they can stand it.
LOLOL
Me either. Although I actually know someone who lives in the Hamptons part of the year, and she is very conservative. She probably has to fake it a lot to get along with the snooty snoots.
Biden, 81, landed on Saturday in Westhampton Beach and headed to speak at the home of billionaire Barry Rosenstein.
I find it odd that he would be having a fundraiser at Barry’s houses as I got an email from the Biden Harris Campaign saying that Donald Trump and his Wall Street Billionaire friends are pouring millions into this race. It then shows fake poll percentages of 44 to 43%.
I have said for years, the national vote total does not matter. It is the vote totals in the swing states that matter.
drjill dragged him there——she likes to hob nob
with the moneyed crowd......he’d rather be in Delaware (groan.)
