A private call of top Democrats fuels more insider anger about Biden’s debate performance

14 Sept 03:15 Key points summarised by AI

Top Democrats grew increasingly angry after a private DNC call, intended to address President Biden's troubling debate performance, instead offered a dismissive "rosy assessment."
Committee members on the call felt "gaslighted" as DNC leaders, including Chairman Jaime Harrison, ignored widespread concerns and disabled the chat function, exacerbating party panic.
Despite calls from some party members for Biden to step aside, his campaign and closest allies insist he remains well-positioned, downplaying the debate's impact on voter perception.
While post-debate polls showed Trump outperformed Biden, the campaign maintains confidence, citing fundraising success and dismissing negative narratives as temporary dips.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
