The article criticizes President Biden's performance and the Democratic Party's reaction post-2020 election. It highlights his failed unity message, budget concerns, and mental health issues, which led to his decline in support. The piece discusses comments from Biden's campaign strategist Mike Donilon, who downplays the impact of a disastrous debate, and Karine Jean-Pierre, the former press secretary, expressing dismay at the lack of party unity. Overall, it reflects on Biden's struggles and the ongoing tensions within the party as the next election approaches.
Biden himself has repeatedly argued that he would have ultimately prevailed had he been given proper support and unity.
Lots of people have terrible debates, right? Usually the party doesn't lose its mind, said Mike Donilon.
It was a firing squad and I had never seen anything like it, said former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Instead of coming together to really be unified and trying to figure out, 'How do we save our democracy? How do we fight back?' that's what I was seeing.
