Biden reportedly humiliated after debate against Trump, turning to family to discuss campaign's future
President Biden was reportedly humiliated by his debate performance on Thursday and was "devoid of confidence," according to reports.
"It's a mess," a person familiar with the president's mood after the debate told NBC News.
The outlet reported several prominent Democrats expressed concern in private over Biden's chances of beating Donald Trump in November following his debate performance. However, they remain steadfast in their support for Biden in public.
"The only person who has ultimate influence with him is the first lady," another person told the outlet. "If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course."

The president and his family are reportedly set to informally discuss the future of his campaign at Camp David on Sunday.
"Any discussion about the campaign is expected to be informal or an afterthought," the person close to the Biden family told NBC. "No one is sitting down for a formal or determinative discussion."
Biden addressed his debate performance at a rally in North Carolina on Friday.
"I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know — I know how to tell the truth!" Biden told a crowd of supporters.....
============================================
When does Biden intend to tell the truth. He could start by stopping lying about Charlottesville or about giving his dead uncle an Purple Hearth and his dead uncle refused it. Or he could stop lying about zero soldiers getting killed under his watch. Or about driving an 18 wheeler. Or about getting arrested while seeing Mandela. Or about Uncle Bosey getting eaten by cannibals. Or that the CBP supports him etc. etc. etc.
