Several days ago, Axios reported that President Joe Biden is “dependably engaged” in his Presidential duties only between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., but on Monday he seemed determined to own the morning. At the crack of 9 a.m., Biden published a public letter to congressional Democrats, arguing that the questions over his fitness—following his performance in the first Presidential debate—had been “well-aired” for over a week, but that it was “time for it to end.” He had been picked by fourteen million voters in the Democratic primary, he said, and why should their support be thrown aside? Half an hour later, calling in to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden worked to bolster the case that the people were with him, and only weak-kneed insiders were against: “I’m getting so frustrated by the élites in the Party—‘Oh, they know so much more.’ Any of these guys that don’t think I should run—run against me. Announce for President, challenge me at the convention.” Of his critics, Biden said, “They’re big names, but I don’t care what those big names think.” (Notwithstanding the fact that Joe Scarborough—Morning Joe himself—has called into question whether Biden should run again.)
