The extent of Biden’s decline is far worse than the media let on. It’s getting scary, frankly.
And now a leaked phone call with Biden is sinking the Democrats completely.
According to a new report, President Biden engaged in a “tense” Zoom call with dozens of moderate Democrats, which was described as “even worse than the debate” — taking place less than an hour before the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The 81-year-old president frequently lost his train of thought during the call and dismissed concerns from the Democrats about his 2024 re-election campaign, following his disastrous debate performance last month, Puck reported Wednesday, citing multiple sources.
“The call was even worse than the debate. He was rambling; he’d start an answer then lose his train of thought, then would just say ‘whatever.’ He really couldn’t complete an answer. I lost a ton of respect for him,” one participant on the call commented.
“The president was rambling, dismissive of concerns, unable or unprepared to present a campaign strategy,” added a second source, who is a member of Congress.
The sniper attack on Trump at his rally in Butler, Pa., effectively halted the Democrats from leaking details of the call and speaking out against Biden, the source noted.
“Had the assassination attempt not occurred an hour later, I imagine 50 people on that Zoom were ready to come out publicly against him,” the member of Congress said.
In one particularly heated moment, sources recounted Biden lashing out at Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) when the congressman questioned the significance of national security to voters.
“First of all, I think you’re dead wrong on national security,” Biden told him, according to a recording of the call.
“You saw what happened recently in terms of the meeting we had with NATO. I put NATO together. Name me a foreign leader who thinks I’m not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me!” he continued.
“Tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son.”
Biden concluded the Zoom call just after 5 p.m., telling his fellow Democrats he had to go to church, according to those on the call.
The Biden campaign, however, has dismissed claims that the president was rambling during the call.
“Just in the past week, the president has met with Democratic leaders in both chambers and numerous congressional groups to solicit their feedback and answer their questions,” a campaign official stated.
“Engagement with House and Senate members is ongoing, and the campaign will continue to have candid and robust conversations with congressional offices.”
But what else should we expect from the Biden campaign. They’re the ones who said he had a cold when his debate performance went sour.
They’re the ones who told us he’s sharp and with it behind closed doors, only for that facade to melt away.
If Biden is fine, then why are more and more Democrats calling for him to step aside.
