While President Joe Biden spent Sunday at Camp David with his family, leading Democrats rallied in a public show of support for his campaign, despite concerns about his recent debate performance and increasing doubts about his candidacy.

"I do not believe that Joe Biden has a problem leading for the next four years," said Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina. ''Joe Biden should continue to run on his record." Biden's supporters flooded Sunday talk shows, admitting his debate performance against Republican Donald Trump ranged from subpar to bad, but urging voters to focus on Biden's long-term record and Trump's numerous falsehoods during the 90-minute debate.

Behind the scenes, the Biden campaign has been working to address concerns about the debate, where Biden's performance raised questions. They are focused on maintaining donor support and rallying surrogates.
