The Biden campaign sent a lengthy email to supporters on Saturday night urging them to “keep the faith” as they try to rally the “bedwetting brigade” who are still reeling from Joe Biden’s debate performance against President Trump on Thursday in which Biden appeared flustered and confused. time.
In an attempt to show that dumping Biden would be a mistake, the Biden campaign strangely included poll results by Democratic polls that showed President Trump beating Biden and every other Democratic nominee. The case the campaign is making is that Trump only beat Biden by three points, while everyone else lost to Trump by…two or three points just like Biden.
Intro to the email, sent by Deputy Campaign Manager Rob Flaherty, as posted by ABC News reporter Will Steakin:

Excerpt from an email posted by HuffPost’s Yashar Ali:
“The bedwetting brigade called on Joe Biden to “get out. This is the best way for Donald Trump to win and for us to lose.
First things first: Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee, period. The end of the story. Voters vote. He won a lot. And if he were to come out, it would lead to weeks of chaos, internal food fights, and many candidates limping into violent floor battles at the convention, all while Donald Trump had time to speak to the American electorate unopposed.
All of them will be at the service of the nominee who will enter the general election in the weakest position with zero dollars in his bank account. You want a highway to lose? This is it.”

Never Trumper Bill Kristol observed, “Panic at Biden HQ? He included a chart in his fundraising email showing which Biden candidate is strongest against Trump. It doesn’t show that. All possible Dem candidates — even if they’re less known than Biden — have like Biden.
Panic at Biden HQ?
He included a chart in his fundraising email showing which candidate Biden is strongest against Trump. It does not show that. All possible Dem candidates — even if they’re less known than Biden — have been like Biden. https://t.co/h10v4BCTgw
