According to two of Joe Biden's close advisers, his family members came together at Camp David on Sunday to show their unwavering support for the president and encourage him to stay in the 2024 race. This display of solidarity comes amidst mounting pressure for Biden to drop out following his underwhelming performance at last week's CNN presidential debate.
During the family gathering, the discussions revolved around how the Biden clan can best assist the president in his campaign, rather than questioning his decision to run. Hunter Biden, the president's son, and his grandchildren also expressed their admiration and backing, echoing First Lady Jill Biden's recent words of praise.
One of the advisers shared that the family also deliberated on whether any changes should be made to the campaign staff or President Biden's inner circle. The president was at Camp David for a planned photo shoot with renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, and his family joined him for the occasion.
Senior advisers have clarified that this gathering was not intended to discuss Biden's future in the race, despite the shock of his debate performance still lingering. The president and his inner circle are still coming to terms with the aftermath of the debate and are gathering data and feedback to assess the situation.
If the current downward trend continues, and Biden becomes convinced that withdrawing from the race is the best decision, the family's current stance on his candidacy may shift in the coming days. The advisers mentioned that the president is closely monitoring anecdotal evidence and public polling, and will also receive more in-depth research and data from the Democratic campaign this week.
The opinion of Biden's family carries significant weight in shaping his political future, more so than that of his close inner circle of advisers. These advisers are now under scrutiny, with party insiders questioning how they allowed the president to take the debate stage against Donald Trump, knowing the risks involved. The Biden team had spent a week at Camp David, preparing the president for any scenario that he might face at the CNN studio in Atlanta.
There is growing frustration towards some of Biden's key staff members, which has started to spill out into the public domain. Democratic donor and Florida attorney John Morgan pointed fingers at senior adviser Anita Dunn and her husband, Bob Bauer, who serves as Biden's personal lawyer. In a post on X on Sunday, Morgan stated that it was time for Dunn and Bauer to step down, as they have not served the president well. The White House declined to comment on Morgan's remarks.
