Description
President Joe Biden’s campaign gambled on a June debate, ostensibly with
the goal of shaking up the trajectory of the campaign. Last night, it
backfired in spectacular fashion. Over the course of a disastrous 90
minutes, the incumbent often wandered into incoherence, his voice faint,
while former President Donald Trump blasted a firehose of insults and
untruths. Now, with word that prominent Dems are in crisis mode, could
we be approaching virtually unforeseen political territory? Playbook
co-authors Rachael Bade, Ryan Lizza and Eugene Daniels unpack what we
saw and where things go from here.
