‘Senile politician’: Biden trolled as report claims Dem donors gave him two-week grace period after presidential debate debacle

WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden's recent debate performance against former President Donald Trump sparked concerns among his campaign donors, yet they have decided to give him a two-week grace period to recover, as per New York Post.

This decision came following an extensive Zoom call with top campaign contributors, aiming to alleviate any fears regarding Biden’s reelection bid. A source involved in the call disclosed that the Democratic National Finance Committee aimed to eliminate rumors about Biden possibly ending his campaign.

Democratic donors grant grace period to Joe Biden following poor debate performance

The hour-long discussion was intended to provide reassurance and outline the future strategy.

"The call was very reassuring. He’s all in, moving forward. He will do better at the next debate. The campaign is going about business as usual," said the source.

The source further emphasized that the primary focus was on continuing the campaign with a clear plan for the future.

The committee assured donors that internal surveys showed strong support for Biden and claimed there was no significant drop in his polling numbers post-debate. Despite this, there was a notable suggestion that Biden should address the nation more frequently to shift the focus back to the issues rather than his debate performance.

However, it was emphasized that Biden should stick to a script during these appearances. "They want to get him out there ... but make sure it’s scripted. They are going to have teleprompters at every possible event they can," the source noted.

The Biden campaign, however, disputed these claims.

"Their takeaway on teleprompters was incorrect. No one on the Biden campaign said that," a campaign spokesperson claimed.

In the wake of the debate, Biden addressed the nation from the White House, criticizing the Supreme Court's decision to grant Trump absolute immunity for acts committed while he was president.

During his speech, Biden read closely from teleprompters and avoided answering questions about his debate performance or the future of his reelection campaign. A source close to Democratic officials described Biden as "calm and focused on the future".

The source added, "Donors are not asking for their money back."

A Morning Consult poll released on Monday, July 1, showed a tight race between Biden and Trump, with Trump holding a slight edge at 44 percent compared to Biden’s percent.

The survey, conducted between June 28 and June 30, indicated a slight decline in Biden's numbers from a previous poll on June 16, where he led Trump by one point.

Internet reacts as donors give Joe Biden two-week grace period

The anxiousness among Democratic donors regarding Biden sparked heated debate across social media.

One Facebook user commented, "Nothing wrong with President Biden. He had one bad debate. Smh."

Another user remarked, "Many polls said Trump gave the better performance. You can equally say he was the best bulls***ter up there that night."

"The next debate Biden will be awesome again," one user wrote.

Another added, "Can’t believe that democrats are that quick to abandon Biden! Shame on them."

However, there were many arguing against Biden as well. "It’s hard to believe ANYONE with any intelligence would endorse let along contribute money to Joe Biden’s re-election campaign," one user noted.

"The mere idea that ANYONE thinks this man is so highly functioning that he can continue to hold THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD (arguably) is a testament to both how stupid people are," a user pointed out.

Another mentioned, "What a hollow, completely sold-out doofus!"

Lastly, a user stated, "He should have stepped aside and let them run a proper primary. Instead you got a senile career politician on the ticket."
