26) In May, Daley grew even more concerned after attending a Biden campaign fundraiser in Chicago. "I’ll tell you, I got rattled," he told Whipple. "They had a receiving line, a photo line. And I had not seen the president up close in a couple of years. And I went through it with my wife—and he was friendly and all that, but he was just not the same guy." Daley called Biden's chief of staff, Jeff Zients, and begged him not to let the president go on stage with Trump at the CNN debate. "Do not do this," he said. "I’m telling you, don’t do it. I’m just telling you, come up with something, but do not do it."
I'm on the record repeatedly asserting that Joe Biden would never debate but his pride overruled his discretion and I've never been so happy to be wrong.
