President Joe Biden’s campaign chairwoman held a meeting with staff on Friday, urging them not to listen to news coverage honing in on whether efforts to pressure Biden off the 2024 ticket will be successful.
The call, which was first reported by Axios, is the most recent example of Biden leadership trying to revive morale following the President’s disastrous debate showing late last month.
Campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon told staff and the Democratic National Committee on Friday not to “watch cable news all the time.”
“That is not the real world,” said O’Malley Dillon.”The real world is the voters that are standing with us, the delegates that are with us, and we’re going to weather this because of this organization.”
She also added that “people in our country are not watching cable news.”
O’Malley Dillon also reportedly said on the call that the president “sounds like sh*t” referencing his recent COVID diagnosis, but said that “he is doing the work” from Rehoboth.
Upwards of 35 Democrat members of Congress, including two Senators, have called on Biden to bow out of the race.
