Dems' 'deeply self-destructive' attacks on Biden to blame for weakening his candidacy, lawmaker says
Fox News
A House Democrat who supports President Biden's reelection campaign is slamming members of his own party for "weakening" Biden's chances with public criticism of his debate performance.
Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., who has signaled he is backing Biden, called his fellow Democrats out for the public disarray. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
"Regardless of where one stands on the question of President Biden's political future, the intra-party mixed messaging strikes me as deeply self-destructive," Torres said Monday. "Those publicly calling on President Biden to withdraw should ask themselves a simple question: 'what if the President becomes the Democratic nominee?' The drip, drip, drip of public statements of no confidence only serve to weaken a president who has been weakened not only by the debate but also by the debate about the debate."
