Some Democrats inside and outside of Biden\u2019s bubble were privately anxious about what\u2019s next for the campaign. The report came during a week when Biden made a number of high-profile flubs, confusing current and past world leaders. He didn\u2019t help matters when he referred to the Egyptian president as the president of Mexico in his remarks on the counsel\u2019s report Thursday night, and his decision to forego a high-profile interview ahead of Sunday\u2019s Super Bowl has also drawn scrutiny. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnytime his age and capacity is front and center is bad for his re-election prospects. That said, it does provide an opportunity to more forcefully deal with this issue which they have to do,\u201d said Brian Goldsmith, a Biden donor and a Democratic consultant based in Los Angeles. \u201cThe right response is that Biden is a better president because of his age and wisdom and experience, not despite his age and wisdom and experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey need to find a way to jujitsu this and turn it from a negative into a positive because it is not going away,\u201d Goldsmith said. He added: \u201cAvoiding the Super Bowl interview is a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
