Had a further donor call today with the Biden campaign's Deputy Campaign Manager (Quentin Fulks) [View all]

Debate performance disastrous
Problem with Democratic officials – has metasticized
Debate night reinforced people’s baseline assessment. Need to get him out and show he’s capable.,

Have to keep party unity
Have to have financial resources. What donors think about this race is important
I need grassroots donor money and large donor money

Maybe we should have put the President out quicker.
Missed opportunity to rebrand Trump.
Making concerted effort to push people to be aware of Project 2025.
Need to get aware from notion he’s too scripted. More town halls Less teleprompter,

What data shows President Biden best situated to beat Trump
Bloomberg/ABC polls show race virtually tied.
Post debate poll shift didn’t go to Trump (sent to 3rd party)

Impact of French election – “it’s all online” Most googled thing. “just telling people” doesn’t have impact. Send people to our project 2025 website.

Addressing third party challengers? – we knew early on that RFK was most undefined – could have impact in Minnesota.

Plans for second debate – town halls? – President will debate for second time.
