President Biden’s top aides awoke after debate night with a plan to contain the damage: A raucous North Carolina crowd, a message of resilience, a demonstration of vibrancy.For the first time, Biden would admit what the world had watched for years. “I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to,” he rehearsed at the Westin Raleigh-Durham Airport with Mike Donilon, his message guru. “But I know what I do know … I know how to do this job.”It was a comeback tale, based on the notion of a single bad night.…

When confronted with calls from Democratic lawmakers, donors and voters for him to withdraw from the race, the president said that only “the Lord Almighty” could make him change his mind. It remains unclear whether his full-throated insistence on continuing his campaign will be enough to allay party concerns. This article was originally published by…
