The reported conversation with the ally came amid the fallout from Biden’s devastating presidential debate with Trump.
President Joe Biden has expressed concerns to a key ally that his reelection campaign may be in jeopardy if he doesn’t address concerns about his fitness for office in the coming days, following a disappointing debate performance against Donald Trump.
Biden’s advisors say he is “well aware of the political challenge he faces” and knows he must perform well in upcoming public appearances to reassure voters and donors.
Biden’s debate performance has sparked panic among his allies and donors, with some considering whether he should withdraw from the race and potentially be replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden is scheduled to meet with Democratic governors and sit down for an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos to reassure the public about his ability to continue as the party’s nominee.
