President Joe Biden’s latest effort to soothe panicked House Democrats Friday fell flat after he showed up late to a zoom meeting, skeptics couldn’t ask questions, and one zoom attendee promptly came out against him.
The calamity came as Biden met with members of a progressive BOLD PAC associated with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, as he leads on key constituencies even as dozens of members of his own party call for him to go.
The zoom session came hours after Biden’s press conference where he calmed some Democrats by fielding questions at length with his future on the line, but also botched Kamala Harris’ name by calling her ‘Vice President Trump.’
