With the Democratic Party in disarray after Thursday’s debate raised questions about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries shifted responsibility to the party to find a path forward.
“So the moment that we’re in right now is a comeback moment, and it’s going to require all of us to lean in, articulate a forward-looking message as to why the Democratic platform is best equipped to deal with the challenges facing the American people,” Jeffries said on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.”
During an all-out Sunday media blitz, the party’s all-stars dotted the major networks: Rep. Jim Clyburn, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Sens. Raphael Warnock, Chris Coons and John Fetterman ignored questions of Biden’s age to attack former President Donald Trump. They committed to Biden — “We have a man who has the competence and the character to lead this great nation,” said Warnock — and called the debate “one bad night.”
