A group of moderate Hill Democrats held a “tense” Zoom call with the White House to express their concern about Biden’s ability to win—and their ability to win, should he tank and take them down with him.

“The call was even worse than the debate,” one of the participants told me. “He was rambling; he’d start an answer then lose his train of thought, then would just say ‘whatever.’ He really couldn’t complete an answer. I lost a ton of respect for him.”

What's more, Biden had a 'particularly troubling exchange' with Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) - a former Army Ranger who served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan - in which Biden said "Tell me something you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son," referring to Beau Biden - an Army lawyer who served in the National Guard and was deployed to Iraq, who as the Attorney General of Delaware gave a DuPont heir a plea bargain that spared him prison time for raping his young daughter.
