Biden Family Privately Urges President to Fire Top Advisers Over CNN Debate Disaster - Report [View all]

Privately, members of President Joe Biden’s family are trashing his top advisers over his disastrous performance at Thursday’s debate against Donald Trump.

Earlier this week, Biden struggled to give coherent answers while debating the former president, leading to many Democratic pundits and strategists urging him to step aside in the November race before the convention. Biden was joined by members of his family this weekend at Camp David, where they reportedly discussed the future of his campaign.

Members of Biden’s family privately put the blame on his top campaign advisers, urging the president to fire or demote them. Among the staffers singled out as being at fault were senior adviser Anita Dunn, the president’s attorney Bob Bauer, and former chief of staff Ron Klain, who helped him prepare for the debate, Politico reported. Three anonymous sources told Politico that it’s unlikely Biden will follow through with their advice and oust any of his close advisers

The family members are reportedly saying Biden was not given proper preparation to pivot and attack Trump during the debate, and that the focus was too much on defending his record to date, rather than outlining his goals for a second term. Moreover, family members reportedly claimed Biden was over-worked and not well-rested.
