CNN’s Priscilla Alvarez: ‘It Has Now Been a Week Since That Debate and the President and His Team Are Still on Cleanup Duty’

EXCERPT:

ALVAREZ: “Well, Pamela, it has now been a week since that debate and the president and his team are still on cleanup duty. Now, the president has tried to reassure his allies and even his campaign staff, joining calls yesterday alongside Vice President Kamala Harris and also convening those Democratic governors at a meeting here at the White House. And we are now learning more details about that candid conversation that happened behind closed door. The president telling governors that he would stop doing events after 8:00 PM, saying that he needs more sleep. That, according to sources, frustrating some of those in the room and also making some self-deprecating jokes. Let me read you some of this New York Times report that says that ‘Mr. Biden replied to a question from the Hawaii governor about his health, that his health was fine. “It’s just my brain.”‘ Some in the room took that as a joke. And then later his campaign co-chair, quote, ‘he was clearly making a joke.’”
