President Biden's campaign chair convened an all-staff call Friday and urged staffers to tune out news coverage that has focused on whether Biden will be pushed aside as the Democratic nominee, according to a recording of the call obtained by Axios.
"Don't watch cable news all the time," chair Jen O'Malley Dillon told staff at the campaign and the Democratic National Committee. "That is not the real world. The real world is the voters that are standing with us, the delegates that are with us, and we're going to weather this because of this organization."
"I talked to him this morning – he sounds like sh*t because he's not feeling that well," she said, noting his recent COVID diagnosis. "But he is doing the work, and he is focused on what you guys are doing."
O'Malley Dillon also highlighted that the campaign has still been doing extensive field work in swing states even amidst the political fallout.
"Over the course of the last week alone, we had 100,000 door knocks," she said.
"We had 76% of those people that are with Joe Biden, and those are not Joe Biden voters. Those are our re-engagement targets, the people that haven't checked in yet, they are expansion targets–the people that weren't with us in '20 but have moved to us and our issues since then."

Did Biden Order FBI to Make Unannounced Home Visits to Over 100K Trump Supporters?
“The FBI agents say, ‘You haven’t done anything wrong yet, we just want to talk.’ Is this a form of voter intimidation?,” a popular post on X asked.
.......
As for the post in question, we found no demonstrable evidence that would support the rumor that Biden had made such an order, or that the FBI was carrying out hundreds of thousands of visits to homes of Trump supporters.
A rating of “True” or “False” cannot be applied in a case where there’s not a shred of documentation or other proof. We created a fact-check rating named “Unfounded” for claims just like this one. Such claims typically originate as hearsay, speculation or groundless rumor.
snopes wrong again.
“”Don’t watch cable news”: Biden campaign tries to rally staff”
OK, folks, we’ve convened this all-staff meeting to practice sticking your heads in sand ... you’ll notice that convenient buckets of sand have been placed in front of each of you, so chop-chop, start practicing!
Seriously - who could have ever imagined this a month ago?There's such a thing as the Trump effect...It's real.
I didn’t have the tier of cable that had the news shows for about 4 years but then went back a few months ago and now surf to see such things as right now a woman on MSNBC saying Christians are in a fascist cult following Trump and they are dangerous. Another said the Romans made gods of their leaders and that is what we are doing to Trump. Show is Alex Wagner Tonight. Then they call George Conway “conservative attorney.” Messiah Complex is the topic of the segment.
I agree, I shouldn’t watch these shows.
Airports.....
I haven’t been on a flight since October, 1998.
Do the airports all have CNN every few yards night and day?
Used to have paid contracts to keep CNN on.
Thanks in advance.
“”Ladies and gentlemen, it’s up to you,” he said. “It is up to us to say: ‘Okay, wait a second. Screw it! We’re gonna go deeper. We’re gonna move harder.”
screw it, go deeper, go harder ... yeah, baby, harder, deeper ...
He's not going to drop out. He's going to hang on and make everyone fall into line. Just watch....
“O’Malley Dillon added that “the people that the president is hearing from are saying: ‘stay in this race and keep going and keep fighting, and we need you.’”
Unfortunately, Dillon failed to mention that the President is hearing only from immediate family and a couple of close advisors who also prevent anyone else within shouting distance from getting near the President ...
really, i think that should be:
“He’s going to hang on and make everyone fall”
They have discovered what a pain it is when the MSDM news is against you. You think they have a greater appreciation for what Trump endured over the past 9 years?
MSM not MSDM
Knocking on doors in July is laughably stupid.
It tortures the volunteers in the heat and is long forgotten by election day.
Geez, I hope he doesn’t get post COVID mental fog...lol.
You go, girl! Help him to hang in there!
“Biden befehl, wir folgen! Alle sagen JA!
Biden order, we follow! All saying YES!
Scranton is rooting for ya Joe.... don’t let them down!
Obviously the party’s divided on Kamala. If they were united behind her it would be easier to make the transition.
So I think you have a soap opera power struggle where Joe wants to hang on, and Kamala would gladly stab him in the back if the rest of the party, was behind her, but they’re not.
And it seems like the people who are making the most noise about getting Biden to drop out are the ones who want to bypass her.
So the Kamala loyalists’ fate is tied to Joe and “the ticket”.
Very messy!

She can’t even pull off the “my glasses frames make me look smart” look.
