Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so the saying goes. And Team Biden seems to be embracing this mantra with open arms as they scramble to salvage what little remains of their sinking ship of a campaign.
Just days after a disastrous interview that left even the most ardent Biden supporters cringing, the announcement of yet another primetime appearance for the President was made. But one can’t help but wonder, will this interview be any less embarrassing than the last? The signs point to “highly unlikely.”
In a desperate bid to shore up support and prevent a potential delegate revolt at the upcoming Democratic convention, Biden aides have reportedly resorted to calling individual delegates to gauge their loyalty. The scripted questions being posed hint at a deep-seated fear within the campaign that not all pledged delegates are still on board with supporting the current President.
With polls showing a significant portion of the Democrat Party losing faith in Biden post-debate, it’s no wonder that concerns are running high. The very essence of being a pledged delegate, reflecting the sentiments of those who elected them, is being called into question as doubts about Biden’s mental acuity continue to grow.

The reactions of the delegates to these calls speak volumes. From initial disbelief to suspicion about potential ulterior motives behind the questioning, it’s clear that Team Biden is walking a tightrope in their efforts to maintain control over the nominating process.
In the world of politics, desperation often leads to unexpected and sometimes questionable actions. And given the stakes involved in the upcoming election, one can only imagine what other surprises may be in store from a campaign that seems to be teetering on the edge of disaster.
