Biden’s staffers seem to be more willing to discuss the Ukraine issue than Biden himself. Perhaps he should send one of them to the debate next week in his place.
Joe Biden has come a long way from being the uncontested frontrunner.
Here’s what things look like at RCP as of this writing:
In short, no one can consider Biden the frontrunner.
President Trump’s attacks haven’t helped Biden, either. Instead of galvanizing his support, Trump’s attacks and Biden’s weak responses to them – especially on the Ukraine issue – have top donors panicking and wanting more forceful answers
The top donors have held meetings behind closed doors in an attempt to right the ship
His campaign sent letters to cable news outlets demanding they keep Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani off the air. They also requested the networks not run any Trump ads related to Biden’s role in U.S. policy towards Ukraine when he was vice president.
The campaign ramped up efforts with social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter in hopes they’ll reject the Ukraine ad. Facebook has said no to the request. Twitter has not yet publicly commented on what, if anything, they’ll do.
Team Biden harshly criticized the New York Times over an opinion piece raising questions about Biden’s Ukraine actions as they relate to his son Hunter.
You’d think Biden would want to clear the air once and for all about the Ukraine controversy by doing some sit-down interviews, right? Wrong
Perhaps Biden should send one of his campaign staffers to the debate next week in his place since they seem to be more willing to discuss the issue than he does.
