"Now it's time to focus on keeping the Senate and trying to pick up the House," he added. "The only silver lining for Democrats is that we're no longer talking about Joe Biden's age today."
A Biden campaign spokesperson pointed to the president's Monday interview with NBC Nightly News host Lester Holt, along with his primetime speech scheduled for Sunday night, saying he would give "a forceful and needed address to update the nation on the horrifying attack on Donald Trump and the need for every American to come together to not just condemn, but put to an end political violence in this country once and for all.""Following the president’s interview Monday evening, both the DNC and the campaign will continue drawing the contrast between our positive vision for the future and Trump and Republicans’ backwards-looking agenda over the course of the week," the campaign official said.

Trump is singing to the Democrat party, Move, bitch, get out da way. Get out da way, bitch, get out da way.
But he’s top of his group in halo.
No, it ended the day Trump decided to run again.
A little realistic optimism is in order. But you’re right to caution against over-confidence. We need to stay vigilant.
Biden has now become Walter Mondale.
A token candidate because no one else wants the job.
