Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison dismissed calls from some Democrats for Biden to step aside after his poor debate performance last month.
During an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Willie Geist asked Harrison whether he has any doubts that Biden should be the Democratic nominee for president.
“No doubt whatsoever,” Harrison said, noting that 14 million voters backed Biden for the presidential nominee in the primary elections — an argument the president also has made in defending his vow to stay in the race.
“It’s time to lock your knees and stiffen your spines and get on board to support this president,” Harrison exhorted the president’s doubters.
Harrison argued that Democratic public figures have spent more time talking about Biden instead of Trump and Project 2025, a blueprint of proposed policies by the conservative Heritage Foundation for a potential second Trump administration that the former president has sought to distance himself from, adding they need to do a “course correction.”
“We got to focus on the greatest threat to American democracy that we have ever seen, and that is in Donald Trump, a man who ripped away women’s right to control their own bodies for the first time in 50 years, the daughters who are growing up now have less rights than their mothers and their grandmothers,” he said, referring to Trump’s appointment of three conservative justices to the Supreme Court who in 2022 overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion.
“We cannot allow that to continue to happen, and the focus has to be on beating Donald Trump, and Joe Biden has done it before, and he can do it again,” Harrison added.
