While D.C. buzzed with drama, Biden regrouped with family at Camp David. Sources say relatives encouraged him to stay in the race, though some reportedly side-eyed his debate prep team. 👀 First Lady Jill Biden earlier declared: ‘We’re all-in.’
Poll Shows Voter Jitters
A new CBS poll reveals nearly half of Democrats (46%) now think Biden shouldn’t run—up 10 points since February. But with Trump leading GOP polls, strategists warn: ‘Split focus could hand MAGA the keys.’ 🔑
