The panic which gripped Democratic National Committee ranks after President Joe Biden’s debate breakdown last night is sufficiently described by CNN’s top election pundit—and an active Democrat—John King, who spoke on CNN’s analysis panel immediately after the debate ended. His remarks were transcribed by Mediaite.
“Right now, as we speak,” King said, “there is a deep, wide and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party. It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now. It involves party strategists, It involves elected officials, it involves fundraisers. And they are having conversations about the president’s performance, which they think was dismal, which they think will hurt other people down the party in the ticket. And they’re having conversations about what they should do about it.
