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."
If they stop watching cable news who will be left.
“If they stop watching cable news who will be left.”
People stuck in airports, that’s who.
Censor yourself? Is that like a black hole?
Pretty much.
Now I know why I don’t fly I’d rather drive across the country I do every summer.
Hang in there, buddy - we're rooting for ya!
Come on, man! Win for The Grifter!
“”Don’t watch cable news”: Biden campaign tries to rally staff”
It took 3 and a half years, but I FINALLY agree with Biden on something.
I feel sorry for those folks.
That picture says it all. Taken from below to try to make her look intimidating. The hands on the hips. Where do these people come from? Reminds me of that picture of Obama’s staff after Trump won.
A Biden NEVER quits!
Reminds me of those Russian models...
“Don’t watch cable news all the time,”
“Watch cable news all the time.”
Too funny! Now he has to tell them not to even watch MSDNC!
Seriously - who could have ever imagined this a month ago?
Lol. Good comparison. I think that was a Fedex commercial, right? They had a great advertising team back in the day.
When cable TV first came out, they said it was better because free TV had commercials. But then they added a lot of programming with commercials, sometimes pure commercials 24/7.
