What It Takes
On Tuesday morning, I was heading back to Puck=E2=80=99s luminous office ne=
ar the Odeon, in Lower Manhattan, when a DM hit from my partner Peter Hamby=
=2E Peter and I had been exchanging not=
es at a frenzied pace since Joe Biden=
=E2=80=99s disastrous debate the previous Thursday evening. Five days later=
, the blast radius was still widening. Democrats of all classes=E2=80=94vot=
ers, electeds, consultants, donors, megadonors, mega-megadonors=E2=80=94wer=
e not only aghast at the aging president=E2=80=99s performance but also at =
his inner circle=E2=80=99s vexing, almost inexplicable ability to exacerbat=
e the mess.
Previous administrations would have tried to quell the furor by making thei=
r principal available on every Sunday show, or 60 Minutes. Instead, save fo=
r a campaign appearance in North Carolina on the day after the debate=E2=80=
=94during which a far more
vital Biden read from the teleprompter=E2=80=94the president was nowhere to=
be seen. He had absconded to Camp David with his family for what was initi=
ally described as a previously scheduled get-together and later revealed to=
be a photo session with Annie Leibovitz. On Monday evening, our partner Jo=
hn Heilemann had published a brilliant piece, Biden=E2=80=99s Darkest Hour =
( https://puck.news/should-biden-stay-or-should-he-go/?utm_campaign=3DThe+B=
ackstory+-+LEADS+%287%2F6%2F24%29&utm_content=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%286%=
2F15%2F24%29&utm_medium=3Demail_action&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io&utm_term=3D=
f6c60615e3d301d48d28 ), that laid out the evolving scholarship within the t=
op ranks of the party. In short, Biden may have been able to survive the fi=
rst 72 hours after the nightmare in Atlanta. But his political fate would h=
inge on the polls that surfaced in the following fortnight.
As I was making a right onto Greenwich Street, Peter texted that he had jus=
t gotten his mitts
on one of those very polls. In particular, he=E2=80=99d unearthed a confide=
ntial memo that was circulating among party insiders. The document was put =
together after the debate by OpenLabs, a progressive nonprofit that conduct=
s polling and message-testing for a number of Democratic groups, including =
the Democratic National Committee and the 501(c)4 nonprofit associated with=
Future Forward, the preferred Super PAC for Biden=E2=80=99s reelection cam=
paign. The memo contained a poll that found that 40 percent of the Biden vo=
ters in 2020 now believed the president should end his campaign=E2=80=94a s=
ignificant shift. On a more granular level, the poll showed him losing in b=
attleground states, and dipping behind other hypothetical Democratic replac=
ements at the top of the ticket. Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin New=
som, and Pete Buttigieg all polled ahead of the president in key battlegrou=
nd states. This, indeed, was one of the polls that Heilemann had been
foreshadowing.
Peter got jamming on the data. A few hours later, Puck published his ground=
breaking story ( https://puck.news/biden-plunges-in-swing-states-in-leaked-=
post-debate-poll/?utm_campaign=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%287%2F6%2F24%29&utm=
_content=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%286%2F15%2F24%29&utm_medium=3Demail_actio=
n&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io&utm_term=3Df6c60615e3d301d48d28 ), which was pic=
ked up everywhere from the Times to Axios. It was an incredible piece, whic=
h elegantly summed up the consequences of this historical moment that we=E2=
=80=99re all wading through. =E2=80=9CThe most worrisome angle to all this =
is that Trump is now within striking distance in a variety of states that w=
eren=E2=80=99t considered campaign battlegrounds last week,=E2=80=9D Peter =
wrote. =E2=80=9CBiden is now only winning by a fraction of a point in Virgi=
nia, Maine, Minnesota, and New Mexico=E2=80=94and he=E2=80=99s now only win=
ning Colorado by around 2 points.=E2=80=9D
In many ways, the Trump
years were defined by a parallel conversation. On the surface, the sycophan=
ts and ministers were all forced to butt-smooch in familiar ways=E2=80=94ev=
en the more civilized types, who seemingly didn=E2=80=99t need to stoop to =
that level. Behind the scenes, of course, they would gripe to their peers a=
nd the media in an attempt to convey the surreality of working for the guy.=
A similar dual conversation is now taking place on the left, with everyone=
saying all the right things publicly while their legs kick under the water=
=2E
Indeed, the Biden pressure campaign is one of the most significant stories =
of our time, or any, and you can count on Puck to bring you the true inside=
story. Heilemann will be back with the latest reporting and analysis on th=
e topic tomorrow evening. Peter will have an update of the evolving Harris =
situation on Monday. In many ways, ever since we began this business a few =
years ago, Puck has endeavored to be a biography of our age, one day at a t=
ime. That=E2=80=99s
never been more true than now.
Have a great weekend,
Jon

</u>, which was picked up everywhere from the <i>Times </i>to Axios. It was=
an incredible piece, which elegantly summed up the consequences of this hi=
storical moment that we=E2=80=99re all wading through. =E2=80=9CThe most wo=
rrisome angle to all this is that <b>Trump</b> is now within striking dista=
nce in a variety of states that weren=E2=80=99t considered campaign battleg=
rounds last week,=E2=80=9D Peter wrote. =E2=80=9CBiden is now only winning =
by a fraction of a point in Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, and New Mexico=E2=
=80=94and he=E2=80=99s now only winning Colorado by around 2 points.=E2=80=
=9D<br/><br/>In many ways, the Trump
years were defined by a parallel conversation. On the surface, the sycophan=
ts and ministers were all forced to butt-smooch in familiar ways=E2=80=94ev=
en the more civilized types, who seemingly didn=E2=80=99t need to stoop to =
that level. Behind the scenes, of course, they would gripe to their peers a=
nd the media in an attempt to convey the surreality of working for the guy.=
A similar dual conversation is now taking place on the left, with everyone=
saying all the right things publicly while their legs kick under the water=
=2E <br/><br/>Indeed, the Biden pressur=
e campaign is one of the most signific=
ant stories of our time, or any, and you can count on Puck to bring you the=
true inside story. Heilemann will be back with the latest reporting and an=
alysis on the topic tomorrow evening. Peter will have an update of the evol=
ving Harris situation on Monday. In many ways, ever since we began this bus=
iness a few years ago, Puck has endeavored to be a biography of our age, on=
e day at a time. That=E2=80=99s
never been more true than now.<br/><br/>Have a great weekend,<br/>Jon<br/><=
