Biden Knows Next Days Are Critical

President Biden has privately acknowledged that the next stretch of days are critical to whether he can save his reelection bid for president, making clear to an ally Tuesday that he understands what would prompt him to accept: “It’s just not working,” CNN reports.

Said the person: “He sees the moment. He’s clear-eyed.”

“There is no ambiguity for the president about what series of events in the coming weeks would ultimately prompt him to acknowledge that his attempt to make amends for last week’s disastrous debate on CNN aren’t working. It would be a scenario in which “the polls are plummeting, the fundraising is drying up, and the interviews are going badly.”

The person added: “He’s not oblivious.”
