White House chief of staff Jeff Zients urged people during an all-staff meeting on Wednesday to tune out the noise and focus on the task of governing as senior aides scramble to contain the political fallout from President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance.
Zients stressed to White House aides the accomplishments and track record of the Democratic administration, highlighting the importance of governing as the campaign season intensifies after the Fourth of July.
Biden began making personal outreach to senior Democratic lawmakers post-debate, including Schumer, Jeffries, Coons, and Clyburn, to address concerns and build support, indicating efforts to mend relationships and reassurance within the party.
