President Joe Biden did little to inspire confidence in more moderate members of his party as he stumbled and gaffed his way through a Zoom call just an hour before former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally.
Biden’s “rambling” through the call included several occasions where he lost his train of thought and gave confusing, disjointed answers to questions, leading some participants to describe the call as “even worse than the debate” with Trump last month.
In talking to media outlet Puck, sources said that at least “50 people on that Zoom were ready to come out publicly against him” were it not for the attack against Trump.
“The call was even worse than the debate. He was rambling; he’d start an answer then lose his train of thought, then would just say ‘whatever.’ I lost a ton of respect for him,” said one call participant, with another person confirming those details.
“The president was rambling, dismissive of concerns, unable or unprepared to present a campaign strategy, and had a particularly troubling exchange with Jason Crow, saying to him, ‘Tell me something you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son,'” said another.
