Campaign desperately tries to tamp down Democrats’ panic as calls for Biden to step aside grow
The Washington Times ^ | 30 Jun 2024 | Jeff Mordock, Mallory Wilson

The panic inside the Democratic Party is growing.

Democratic National Committee members lashed out at the campaign for gaslighting them about President Biden’s health, while the campaign team accused nervous Democrats of “bedwetting” over the debate catastrophe even as another major newspaper called for President Biden to quit his reelection bid.

Biden allies rushed over the weekend to ease concerns about the 81-year-old president’s faltering campaign by showing unwavering public support, even as many grumbled that the campaign wasn’t taking seriously enough the fallout from his abysmal debate performance.

Mr. Biden stayed out of sight at Camp David as his surrogates flocked to the Sunday talk shows. A report that Mr. Biden and his family spent the day discussing the future of his campaign was immediately dismissed by White House officials as “not accurate.”

Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez held a Saturday afternoon call to reassure some of the party’s most influential members that Mr. Biden was here to stay and up to the task of running for a second term.

Some on the call were frustrated that the pair did not take questions and offered a rosy assessment of Mr. Biden’s chances in November against former President Donald Trump, leaving them feeling like they were being “gaslit.”

“There were a number of things that could have been said in addressing the situation. But we didn’t get that. We were being gaslit,” Colorado DNC member Joe Salazar told the Associated Press.

Other members on the call also described the call as “feeling gaslit,” the term for being manipulated or misled into not believing what one plainly sees or feels.

The Biden campaign also pushed back Sunday, sending a fundraising email accusing some in the party of “bedwetting.”

“… and his first act as President is to pardon himself.”

Not from state charges. Only federal charges.

The NY conviction was on state charges

What’s all this about a dismal debate performance?
Biden got his main point out there.

He Finally Beat Medicare.

I think the communist DP is looking for the arkancide solution and Bill and Hillary Clinton will probably oblige.

Will the judge order Trump to prison and be taken into custody on July 11th? Time will tell.

I'll be surprised if the "judge" doesn't order Trump to prison on July 11th. Then I expect an appeals court at some level to release him soon afterwards until all appeals are completed. Further, I expect an appeals court at some level to dismiss these BS charges altogether at some point.

Full disclosure: I don't really know how this works.

"I’m not certain he can pardon himself from a state charge."

At that point all Trump has to do is ask the American public to open the jail by any means necessary. New York would be burned to the ground.

Good point on the state charges.

Then he would run the WH from prison—totally doable in this age of high tech.

You’re right, of course.

Think of how low the Dems have dragged our country down that we are a banana republic with the last leader forced into prison by lawfare by the current one while half the Americans accept it.

Not to worry, the iceberg caused no damage.

Hong Kong Phuey. Trump lied 49 times.

******************

I keep hearing that, or something like it, but I just don’t see it. I didn’t hear one blatant lie told by Donald Trump during the debate. Maybe an exaggeration but hardly the unending stream of pure lies that so many are claiming.

And as for the Trump’s claims of fraud and theft in the 2020 election, not one single judge would hear a single word about those claims. The political landscape would be very different if any evidence of fraud saw the light of day.
