The Biden campaign sent out an email to supporters detailing how they can respond to their friends who are critical of President Biden’s debate performance.
“If you’re like me, you’re getting lots of texts or calls from folks about the state of the race after Thursday,” reads the email. “Maybe it was your panicked aunt, your MAGA uncle, or some self-important podcasters. It’s a tough position to be in, so I thought it might be helpful to send you a few responses.”
The email comes after last week’s first presidential debate between Biden and former President Trump, which resulted in widespread criticism of the president’s performance.
The email encourages supporters to forcefully push back against those calling on the president to drop out of the race, accusing such critics of being part of the “bedwetting brigade.”
“That is the best possible way for Donald Trump to win and us to lose,” the email argues. “Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly.”
