Haberman Says Trump Campaign Is Trying to Reverse Course After Having ‘Lowered the Expectations’ for Biden Too Much

(Via Mediaite)

EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “And I was told that this was where he and his team were heading. As they went into the debate, they were trying to move from, Biden can’t tie his shoelaces, and is going to trip his way all over the stage, to trying to suggest that they expect that he will be good, in the same way he was, say, at the State of the Union, several months ago. And so, there is an awareness in Trump’s world, that they have lowered the expectations pretty solidly for Biden there. I don’t know that a week out from the debate is enough time to try to recast that. But Trump did not help himself, in 2020, when he was constantly interrupting Biden. He knows that. He has said that to people. Trump is — Trump and his folks are aware that they set the expectations too low for Biden. And Biden beat them. They’re trying to avoid doing that now.”
