Quote of the Day
“It seemed the only way out of the crisis was for him to flood the airways with appearances where he was seen to be thinking on his feet,” Mennet wrote to us in an email. “That the campaign chose not to do that is sadly a confirmation of his limitations.”
Mennet, who has given millions of dollars to Democrats, including Biden, over the past decade, said she didn’t think Biden could recover from his debate performance and would like to see him step down as the nominee.
