Biden’s family tells him to ‘keep fighting’ during crisis talks at Camp David as son Hunter emerges as a key advisor after debate debacle against Trump sparked calls for him to drop out of presidential race

Joe Biden’s entire family has gathered at Camp David to discuss the president’s future following his shockingly poor debate against Donald Trump.

The White House and campaign are blaming Biden’s low and sometimes difficult to understand voice on a “cold.”

Others say this is how the president now behaves on a daily basis and even Democrats are wondering whether Biden should be replaced in time for November as his polls continue to lag behind Trump.

Many see Biden’s wife, Dr. Jill Biden, as the person who could influence the president in either direction.

This time, however, it was his son Hunter, who was found guilty on three charges in his successful gun and drug trial on June 11 and who continually distracted people from his father’s weaknesses, who stood up for his father most fervently.

According to a new report, Biden’s eldest living son – who is infamous for his wild adventures with booze, drugs and women, in addition to his beliefs – has become the most determined member of the Biden family to insist he stays in the race .

According to the New York Times, Hunter, who has always given advice to his father despite his problems, does not want the country to see his father as the “stumbling, aging” man who appeared at Thursday’s debate. He quotes a source familiar with the conversations.

Instead, he wants America to see him as he apparently does: “sloppy and out of control of the facts.”

The rest of the Biden family mostly tried to show support and wanted to know what they could do to help the president if he were to continue.

Ideas were floated to have the president’s grandchildren “talk to social media influencers.”

Despite mounting pressure from Democrats to consider his political future after a car accident during a debate, Joe Biden appears to remain firmly in the race, with Jill Biden remaining stubbornly by his side.

And her actions over the past 48 hours make it clear that she is the one firmly pulling the strings on her husband’s decision to stay in the race.

Speaking to wealthy donors in New York on Friday evening, she made clear she knew how the debate was perceived but said she had told her husband the campaign would continue.

“So let’s talk about last night’s debate, because I know that’s on your mind,” she said. “As Joe said earlier today, he’s not a young man. And you know, after last night’s debate he said, ‘You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel great.’ And I said, ‘Look, Joe, we’re not going to let 90 minutes define your four years as president.'”

CNN’s performance in which Joe Biden kept asking questions and lost the thread caused unprecedented panic in the party.

Top lawmakers and officials immediately considered their options.

But when Biden attended a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday, he seemed a different man. Jill Biden called it a “wonderful” event.

During the debate, he admitted that his debate performance was less than ideal, but insisted he remained in the race. The crowd of more than 2,000 people cheered him on.

His defiant announcement came alongside the one person who likely stood between him and a potentially historic decision to step aside: his wife Jill.

Even though she knows he had a bad night at the first presidential debate, she stubbornly stands by her husband’s side and fights the fear that he will lose the November election to Donald Trump.

The Bidens know “he didn’t have the best first debate,” a source close to her told DailyMail.com. “Is he the best person to be president now and for the next four years? 100% yes.”

“She’s been his wife for 47 years; she’s his biggest supporter, his biggest advocate, and his biggest believer.”

President Biden, 81, has blocked the nomination, saying the only way the party can get another nominee is to voluntarily drop out of the race.

However, it appears the president is facing an uphill battle after Thursday’s debacle.

A poll released Sunday shows that 72 percent of voters think Biden does not have the cognitive capabilities for another term. This is an increase of seven percent compared to the same poll earlier in June, before the debate.

Former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) has repeatedly questioned Biden’s cognitive and physical health.

He suggested that the seven-day preparation for the debate at Camp David was a way to get the drug cocktail in before the confrontation with Trump.

Both before and after the debate, doubts arose about Biden’s mental acuity and cognitive health.

Biden bumbled through Thursday’s debate with Trump, often speaking lowly, mumbling or losing his train of thought. When Trump spoke, the shared screen showed the president with his mouth ajar and a blank stare.

The outcome prompted a flurry of calls for Biden to end his candidacy, even from some of his strongest supporters.

On the other hand, Trump’s performance during the debate only increased support for his party.

Fifty percent of registered voters think the 78-year-old has the cognitive ability to run for a second term in 2024 — only 27 percent feel the same way about Biden.

It’s still unclear what will happen next, but Biden will spend his Sunday at Camp David discussing the future of this race with his family.

Some accuse First Lady Jill Biden of forcing her husband to continue campaigning for re-election, and Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wy.) accused the first lady of “elder abuse.”
