Democratic Party grandees, meanwhile, crowded onto Sunday talk shows to try to turn attention away from Biden’s confused and painful debate showing and to put the spotlight back on Trump.
But any set of bad polls showing an already-tough reelection bid was seriously damaged by the debate could trigger panic again.
The ferocious counterattack by Biden’s campaign, however, is not answering fundamental questions posed in the aftermath of a debate that shattered confidence in Biden’s capacity to beat Trump for many of his fellow Democrats.
Voters saw Biden’s reduced and poignant state with their own eyes.
Biden campaign manager Jennifer O’Malley Dillon even blamed any poor forthcoming polls on the media and not the president.
