Biden does need to have the talk with his family and staff about whether he can change that perception. Which is a different Q as to whether the perception is right or whether he can do the job: he needs to show he can do it, and be seen to do it. And if he can't he needs to have other hard convos

That was what the VERY early debate was supposed to do! I could see, with Roger Altman and Norm Ornstein, giving him one last public, live chance. There was a reason that the WH press corp were like baying hounds on that Mexico/Sisi availability. And Hur was right.

I think we're at a point where he's had that chance and has shown that he's not able to perform at a level that's going to change those perceptions. He had his big shot and he confirmed them.

Maybe I see that marginal voter differently than you, but I don't think there is anything Biden can do to change that perception before the election. The narrative was already established and his debate performance was confirmation.

Like, yes, folks can talk about whether it was just a bad day 'til they're blue in the face; what matters is if the public agrees, and whether he can show them. And the majority of people who need to be persuaded are not reading any given person's posts, they're looking to Biden to prove it.

To me this is a hugely under discussed side to this. Talking about whether it looked like a bad day or serious decline is so inconsequential because the people around Biden every day have so much more information about the situation

Kind of hard to single-handedly change that perception when certain major media outlets are generating a constant onslaught of propaganda reinforcing that perception no matter WHAT he says or does. It’s just blatant manipulation tactics at this point. Maybe if people stop spreading the propaganda?

He seems to have really bad advisors. There are ways of spinning all of this. Like, point out that people worry about his age because it's not like they're worried about his crimes, lies, insurrection... The abject panic is political malpractice. And it's keeping him from getting better advice.
