President Joe Biden's family has expressed their unwavering support for him to continue in the 2024 race, following a family gathering at Camp David. Despite calls for Biden to drop out after a lackluster debate performance, his family is focused on how they can assist him rather than questioning his candidacy.
The family, including Biden's son Hunter and grandchildren, offered their admiration and support during the gathering. Discussions revolved around potential staff adjustments in the campaign or Biden's inner circle.
The gathering at Camp David was planned for a photo shoot with renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, with senior advisers emphasizing that it was not intended to discuss Biden's future in the race.
Biden and his close circle are still processing the aftermath of the debate, with the family's current stance being that he should persevere. However, this viewpoint may change if Biden's situation deteriorates further.
Biden is actively gathering data and awaiting Democratic campaign polling this week to gauge potential slippage in support. The opinion of Biden's family holds significant weight in determining his political future, surpassing even that of his top advisers.
There is growing scrutiny on Biden's key staff members, with some party insiders openly criticizing their handling of the debate preparation. Florida attorney John Morgan specifically called for the removal of senior adviser Anita Dunn and her husband, Bob Bauer.
The White House declined to comment on Morgan's remarks, as the president and his team navigate the aftermath of the debate and strategize for the road ahead.
