President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign sought to reassure top fundraisers on a conference call that his weak debate performance wouldn’t derail his candidacy. His campaign officials acknowledged that he missed an opportunity to improve his chances but emphasized that voters still have misgivings about former President Donald Trump. The call addressed concerns about Biden’s health and capacity to serve another term, with his campaign chair mentioning Biden’s physicals and health reports. Despite doubts from some donors, Biden has shown no signs of dropping out of the race. The campaign highlighted negative reactions to Trump’s debate performance to demonstrate that Biden still has a chance. They mentioned that it’s not uncommon for incumbent presidents to struggle in their first debate, using Barack Obama’s 2012 experience as an example of a president who recovered and won re-election. Biden’s campaign is confident that they have time to continue reaching voters and that Trump’s campaign lacks the engagement and focus on important issues. Overall, the campaign is working to address concerns and signal that Biden can recover from his debate performance and ultimately win re-election.
