In the aftermath of President Joe Biden's lackluster debate performance, several Democrats in competitive districts have expressed concerns to the Biden campaign and the White House. They fear that Biden's presence at the top of the ticket could not only harm the party's chances of retaining the presidency but also hinder their goal of regaining control of the House of Representatives from the GOP.
These Democratic lawmakers believe that Biden's candidacy might dampen voter turnout, a crucial factor in determining the outcome of key races, thus jeopardizing their prospects in the upcoming November elections. Some have even gone as far as expressing doubts about Biden's ability to defeat former President Donald Trump.
