I donβt think the polls showing him doing better in the trial heats are convincing evidence.

"Most of the delegate slates are full of Biden loyalists, or at least were before the debate. Fearing disruptions from pro-Palestinian activists, Bidenβs campaign and the DNC had worked assiduously for months to ensure each state and territory sent trusted delegates to Chicago."

this doesn't map out to a traditional left-center split. The K-Hive wants Biden to stay because they have Biden brain: yell about "MAGA Republicans," brag about bipartisan compromises, blame stuttering, expect democracy vs. fascism to convince voters. The people wanting Biden out are the realists.

not a great way to measure impact. Instead look at the head to head trends since 6/27. Also, the debate killed Biden by preventing gains which he needs, since he's currently on track to lose. No change wasn't good enough.

exactly, when Biden was the challenger and he didn't matter because it was all up or down on Trump. Now it's reversed and hiding can't work for him.

we are demanding the eradication of a violent, eliminationist apartheid ethnofascist state and will never back off. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, that means eliminating every trace of zionist settler privilege in every square inch of historic Palestine.

"Gaffes" covers quite a few things about Biden, but what he did this debate is different. He didn't lift a British pol's personal history, boast about his nonexistent academic standing, endorse same-sex marriage before his boss, say BFD, or gush about segregationist senators. He just fell apart.

I'm willing to believe he was up 7 in this pre-debate Emerson poll. That would be on par with Hochul in 2022. No chance of losing statewide but kills all those House races Dems hoped to take back. Of course he's probably lost ground post debate.

Lifelong? Play a Biden clip from any year, he never stutters. If he had it in childhood it is gone forever. This is part of the Biden myth to make his deterioration more sympathetic. Nothing in that debate was stutteringβgetting stuck on consonants. And 12 years ago and more he was totally glib:

What "stuttering"? He has filled pauses when he loses his train of thought, he murmurs, he mumbles, he trails off, he veers into non sequitur. There was not one stutter in that whole debate. What kind of stutter makes you talk about immigrant crime when asked about abortion?

Right, no one voted for him, just against Trump, because reelection campaigns are a pure incumbent referendum, the challenger isn't a factor. Unfortunately that will be true again this time, but now it's a pure up or down on Biden, and Trump will not be a factor :(

I would say only by offering a vision for the future, but I agree with her about Harris. Anyone else and it's the administration throwing in the towel, which is a Dem forfeit. Bidenβs problem is, with his visible limits, he is going to have a hard time convincing people he can lead into the future.

there is no resemblance between an open year like 2008 and this. An incumbent reelection is a straight up or down referendum, not a binary choice, and the opponent is not a factor. And agree, a vision and agenda for the future is make or break. They will get nowhere with Project 2025 alarm.

Clinton's advantage over Harris is a mild uptick in name ID that would disappear if Harris were nominated or succeeded. Polling with alternate names to Biden is useless because it can't capture the dynamics of a new nominee or president.

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

Biden's numbers are abysmal considering he had vaccines. He botched the booster rollouts, minimized Delta and Omicron waves, deathmarched everyone back to the office with Jha and Zients in charge, nuked isolation time, dropped mask rules in thousands of folks' mid-flights, made tons of bad choices.

both were very shortsighted. Trump with the inject bleach and Biden ending all NPIs and putting Wall Street in charge of public health. They both failed the test. Neither could handle masking.

neither of them were great to be honest. Biden putting corporate ghouls Zients and Jha in charge of the pandemic response, threatening the country with a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" when within months it was mostly vaccinated dying, dropping isolation times and all NPIsβwere as criminal as Trump.
