A private call held by the Democratic National Committee on Saturday left at least one member feeling “gaslit” after the discussion failed to address growing concerns about President Joe Biden‘s reelection campaign.

DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez held the call Saturday afternoon with members from across the country. However, the call largely avoided Biden’s weak showing and the criticism that ensued after the debate with Republican candidate Donald Trump last week.

“I was hoping for more of a substantive conversation instead of, ‘Hey, let’s go out there and just be cheerleaders,’ without actually addressing a very serious issue that unfolded on American television for millions of people to see,” said Colorado DNC member Joe Salazar, who was on the call, to the Associated Press.

Salazar continued, “There were a number of things that could have been said in addressing the situation. But we didn’t get that. We were being gaslit.”

Initial post-debate polls indicated that Trump outperformed Biden, but their favorability ratings remained steady. Harrison downplayed the call’s significance, framing it as a routine discussion about the race and upcoming convention in August.
