After poor debate, Biden campaign believes there's still "no indication" anyone but Biden can beat Trump

President Biden's campaign has concluded that there's "no indication" anyone but Mr. Biden can beat Donald Trump, indirectly admitting that it has conducted polling that puts Vice President Kamala Harris atop the ticket amid concerns about Mr. Biden's fitness to run that arose after his poor debate performance.
According to a memo obtained by CBS News, the campaign does not see Harris winning as the presidential candidate, a finding that flies in the face of public polling suggesting she would fare slightly better than Mr. Biden.
The campaign acknowledged that he's slipped in polls against Trump but does not believe it's lethal to his chances this November. It is counting on winning the Blue Wall states, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and sees them as the "clearest pathway" to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election, though the campaign also thinks the Sunbelt States are not unwinnable.
