President Joe Biden is steering his campaign back towards routine governance after a turbulent debate performance. This week, despite Democratic unease and jittery donors, Biden's focus remains on casting Republican nominee Donald Trump as a significant national threat.
Currently, Biden's schedule includes a briefing on extreme weather, a campaign reception, and several ceremonial duties, indicative of his effort to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Vice President Kamala Harris, addressing supporters, acknowledged the debate misstep but emphasized the critical contrast between Biden and Trump, labeling Trump "a threat to our democracy" and "a liar".
Behind closed doors, Biden and his advisers are evaluating the damage and potential strategies to mitigate the fallout. Despite talks of increasing public appearances, many within the campaign are awaiting more polling data to gauge the necessary adjustments. Campaign officials maintain that the focus will remain on illustrating Trump as a danger, with ongoing efforts in battleground states and fundraising activities critical to Biden's plan.
