Frustrated Top Senate Dem Says Voters Need ‘Unscripted’ Biden
As he exited Senate Democrats’ weekly lunch, at which members intensely debated President Biden’s prospects, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon had a simple message for the embattled commander-in-chief: Get out there, Joe.
“I think it’s clear right now, that the kinds of discussions that I suggested a long time ago—unscripted town halls, people looking him in the eye—that’s what I think the country’s hungry for,” Wyden said as he left the lunch, making his way through an unusually large throng of reporters.
Like other Democrats, he was pressed for his views on whether Biden should stay in the race against Donald Trump. And in what has become a standard line, he provided no clear answer.
