Biden turns to mayors for support as other Dems question his viability
SUMMARY
President Joe Biden faced skepticism from within his own party as he addressed nearly 200 mayors in a Zoom call aimed at shoring up support for his reelection bid. Despite admitting flaws in his recent debate performance against Donald Trump, Biden's efforts to reassure mayors about his readiness for a second term were met with mixed responses. While some, like San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, found Biden's acknowledgment of needing improvement "encouraging," others, including Colorado Senator Michael Bennett, openly questioned Biden's ability to win, suggesting Trump could be on track for a landslide victory.
