President Joe Biden engaged in a call with his campaign co-chairs to gather 'honest input' regarding his reelection efforts. The call, which lasted over an hour, was described as constructive and positive by Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, one of the campaign co-chairs. This move by Biden comes amidst internal pressure within his party to reconsider his candidacy for the 2024 race.
Following his recent campaign trip to Wisconsin and a notable interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden's team is working to reassure voters about his capability to serve a second term. The call with his national team focused on seeking advice and input on the best way forward for his reelection campaign.
There was a consensus among the campaign co-chairs that the Wisconsin rally was successful and the Stephanopoulos interview was well-received. To further connect with voters, Biden plans to engage in more direct interactions such as town halls and press conferences. Coons emphasized the importance of unscripted engagements to address concerns about the president's viability as the Democratic nominee.
In an effort to enhance transparency and communication, President Biden is scheduled to hold his first formal press conference since the debate on Thursday, coinciding with the conclusion of the NATO summit. This move is seen as a step towards addressing doubts and solidifying his position as a candidate for the upcoming election.
