President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against former President Trump prompted his campaign to give supporters talking points in defending him.
In a telling indication of how Biden’s campaign is focused on damage control, the email to supporters sought to spin the debate debacle and equip what supporters he has left with responses to give their “MAGA uncle” and others.
“If you’re like me, you’re getting lots of texts or calls from folks about the state of the race after Thursday,” the email reportedly stated. “Maybe it was your panicked aunt, your MAGA uncle, or some self-important podcasters. It’s a tough position to be in, so I thought it might be helpful to send you a few responses.”
Admitting that “the debate started rough,” the email claimed that at least “voters saw what a threat Donald Trump is to the country.”

The email went on to slam critics calling for Biden to drop out as the “bedwetting brigade,” essentially knocking many in the Democrat Party who have done just that since the debate.
“Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly,” it read.
“The bedwetting brigade is calling for Joe Biden to ‘drop out.’ That is the best possible way for Donald Trump to win and for us to lose,” the email stated, predicting Biden dropping out “would lead to weeks of chaos” and “internal foodfighting” and “a bunch of candidates who limp into a brutal floor fight at the convention.”
“All while Donald Trump has time to speak to American voters uncontested,” the email continued. “All of that would be in service of a nominee who would go into a general election in the weakest possible position with zero dollars in their bank account. You want a highway to losing? It’s that.”
