CORN, POPPED: The Biden Campaign Is in Chaos.
On Saturday afternoon, DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez held a conference call with dozens of DNC members nationwide, and it did not go well. In fact, it arguably made things worse.
“Multiple committee members on the call, most granted anonymity to talk about the private discussion, described feeling like they were being gaslighted — that they were being asked to ignore the dire nature of the party’s predicament,” the AP reported. “The call, they said, may have worsened a widespread sense of panic among elected officials, donors and other stakeholders.”
Participants on the call said Harrison offered “a rosy assessment of Biden’s path forward,” and no questions were allowed during the call.
Taking questions runs the risk of puncturing the bubble.
