WASHINGTON, DC: Joe Biden's campaign is making an effort to energize staff members in response to calls for the president to drop out of the race after his appalling debate performance.

"We had two very, very, very hard weeks, very bad weeks," Biden campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon told staff on a call, as reported by Axios. "I told you I'd level with you, they've been bad f***ing weeks," she said.

Reports of White House and Joe Biden's staffers feeling demoralized increased significantly

There have been a lot more reports in recent weeks that Joe Biden's campaign staff members, as well as White House staffers, are feeling "miserable" and overwhelmed.

"This two-week window has really sucked, and it is hard, there is no doubt about it. And it's hard for all of us because we are doing the job," Dillon told staffers. "If we can get through these two weeks that we're living through, we can get through anything."

Joe Biden's camp staffers were asked to ignore 'crazy f***ing gossip' about POTUS' replacement in 2024 election

Additionally, staff members were instructed to disregard the "crazy f***ing gossip land world" as media rumors about Joe Biden's potential replacement as the Democratic presidential nominee grow.

Dillon also told staffers that Biden's political advisor, Mike Donilon, said in meetings that "he's never seen a presidential candidate have more thrown at him than Joe Biden and do you know what Joe Biden does every day? He gets up and he keeps fighting."

Jen O'Malley Dillon responds to concerns over Joe Biden's falling poll numbers

During the call with staffers, the Biden campaign chair addressed concerns regarding Joe Biden's polling numbers.

According to some polls taken in battleground states after the debate, former President Donald Trump is now ahead of Biden.

In Wisconsin, Trump leads Biden 50 percent to 45 percent among likely voters, according to a survey done for AARP by Democratic pollsters Impact Research and Republican pollsters Fabrizio Ward.

"[W]e definitely saw a little bit of slippage, but nothing significant, nothing massive, no bottom falling out," Dillon said of Biden's polling numbers after the debate.

"What you are seeing in the public polling in the last couple days is what we are seeing in our polls," the Biden campaign chair said. "What we are seeing is that this is still a margin of error race."

Netizens' reactions suggest that this is just the beginning of the end for Joe Biden's campaign as a growing number of White House staff expressed their dissatisfaction with the present situation.

Dillon's recent call to a worker further fuels the growing concerns in the White House.

One X (formerly Twitter) user predicted, "This is just the start. If they are crumbling already it's going to be a very long election season for them."

"Republicans gone snatch victory from jaws of defeat .leave Biden in place for crying out loud," echoed one.

"It’s going to be a bad f…k year!" remarked a user.

Another individual commented, "'Bad weeks?' For the rest of us normal people it’s been a 'bad f—-ing' 3 years… Joe Biden had his chance to gracefully slip out of the race… now his legacy will be known as the 'worst president America has ever had' …'and then he lost his mind.'"
