Jim Clyburn pins blame on Biden’s debate performance on ‘preparation overload’

Published June 30, 2024 11:18am ET



Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) believes some of President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance was the result of being over-prepared for the event.

Clyburn, who is currently the co-chair of Biden’s reelection campaign, has a close relationship with the president and was crucial to his 2020 campaign’s primary win in South Carolina.
