The Spin

Democratic narrative

The knee-jerk reaction among party elites to remove Biden after the poor debate performance is wrong-headed. Biden has had a very successful presidency, and it would be a self-inflicted wound to rob the Democrats of the incumbency advantage against Trump. Biden has beaten Trump before — he's their best chance to defeat him again. Democrats need to project confidence with Biden at the helm.

Atlantic

Republican narrative

The liberal media has finally admitted that the emperor has no clothes, as Biden's cognitive decline was put on display for the world to see. Democrats are now slowly realizing that Biden isn't mentally fit to be president, something they have downplayed to the public for over four years. The American public realizes there's a serious issue, and Donald Trump is rightly surging in the polls.

FOX News

Narrative C

Pres. Biden is a decent man who served honorably throughout his storied political career. It's time for him to show his loyalty to his country by stepping aside to assuage the public's fears regarding his fitness. America can't afford four more years of Trump, and the Democrats need to nominate a candidate who has the best shot of winning. Biden should do the right thing and step aside as nominee.
