In the president’s own words:
“We’ve now named him very slow Sleepy Joe. He’s gotten slower and slower. I’m afraid that if he gets the nomination, he’ll be so slow, we’ll have the lowest-rated debates in history.”
Why Has Biden’s Campaign Slowed Down?
The decline of Biden’s campaign is greatly attributed to a lack of funding. When Biden previously had no issues with capital, a significant amount of his campaign money went to fancy hotels and private jet flights.
Therefore, the former vice president elected to accept financial aid from super PACs; it’s also important to note that Biden priorly denounced super PACs when he didn’t need their funding. As the former vice president continues to struggle with raising money from small-dollar donors, he’s changed his tune and abandoned his disdain for super PACs.
As the 2020 presidential election continues, Biden maintains that he’s the best candidate to face Trump in the general election. In the words of the former vice president, he thinks he can “beat [Trump] like a drum.”
