Since the TV debate last Thursday (June 27th), 81-year-old Biden has made four public appearances, giving speeches on the Supreme Court ruling, extreme weather, the Stonewall National Monument in new york and the Medal of Honor ceremony held at the White House on Wednesday. In these four speeches, Biden spoke for a total of 32 minutes with the teleprompter, but did not answer questions on the spot.

According to the presidential schedule announced by the White House on Wednesday, Biden held a conference call with campaign staff that day and met with several Democratic governors at the White House. It is reported that Biden reflected on his poor debate performance during the meeting and told them that during the debate, his mind was full of figures and he ignored the key points; Biden also shared his plan to "make a comeback" with the governors.

On the same day, Biden also telephoned the top Democratic Party members in Congress.

"The past few days have been very difficult." Biden told campaign workers in a conference call, "I know you have received many calls, and I’m sure many of you have questions. I am the nominee of the Democratic Party. No one can drive me away. I’m not leaving. I will stick to the end in this campaign, and we will definitely win, because when the Democratic Party is United, we will always win. "

US Vice President Harris also participated in the conference call that day. She also reiterated that Biden will not withdraw from the election. "We will not back down. We will follow the president’s lead. We will fight and we will win. "

White House Press Secretary Pierre said at the afternoon briefing that Biden had absolutely no plans to withdraw from the presidential election.

It is reported that members of the Democratic Party Congress said that since the "disastrous" debate, Biden had little contact with members of the Democratic Party in private, which made them very surprised. According to members of the Democratic Party, Biden didn’t talk to jeffries, the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives and Democrat of New York, until Tuesday, and didn’t talk to Schumer, the majority leader of the Senate and Democrat of New York, and Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Democrat of California, until Wednesday morning. Biden’s meeting with the Democratic Governor on Wednesday night was arranged at the request of Minnesota Governor volz.

The latest poll shows that Trump’s support rate is rising.

In the latest poll released on Wednesday, among registered voters surveyed, former US President Trump leads Biden by 49% to 41%. For voters who have not yet decided to vote, Trump leads Biden by 6 percentage points, which is 3 percentage points higher than before the debate.

This is Trump’s biggest lead in this poll since 2015; Another poll released on Wednesday was similar to the above survey, showing Trump leading Biden by 48% to 42%.

In another poll, 41% of Democratic voters believe that Biden should be replaced.

"I think people pay more attention to age than the reality of our daily life under the leadership of two different governments (Democratic Party and Republican Party)." Shalia Murray, a 57-year-old registered Democrat from Texas, said that she is very supportive of Biden, but she is worried about voters’ indifference and attention to "very superficial issues."

At the same time, more voters expressed concern about Biden’s age after the debate.

According to the latest poll on Wednesday, three-quarters of voters (74%) think Biden is too old for the presidency, which is five percentage points higher than before the debate.

Although Republicans are more likely to say that Biden is too old (82%), the proportion of Democrats who agree with this after the debate (59%) has also increased by eight percentage points. At the same time, 79% independent voters think Biden is too old to play a role.

Although these poll results made many Democrats very scared, Biden’s campaign insisted that they should keep calm and move on. "We will see some poll results today, and we hope everyone can hear our internal information and what we expect to happen outside." Spin doctor, a member of Biden’s team, said, "The opinion polls are only a snapshot of time, and we should all expect that they will continue to fluctuate, and it will take weeks, not days, to fully understand the campaign.".

Biden’s campaign team said that the poor performance of the polls four months before the election did not mean that Biden could not win.

"Both internal and external opinion polls confirm that the competition is still very fierce." "I don’t think today’s polls have fundamentally changed the campaign situation," said Molly Murphy, a polling expert for Biden’s campaign team, in a statement. Murphy stressed that an optimistic message about Biden’s campaign is that he continues to weaken Trump’s support among independents.
