Senator Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) on Sunday joined a number of other Democrats in publicly defending President Biden’s reelection bid in the wake of his disastrous debate performance last week.
Asked during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press whether Biden should drop out, the Georgia Democrat said, “Absolutely not.”
As a pastor, Warnock said, “I can tell you that there have been more than a few Sundays when I wish I had preached a better sermon.”
“But after the sermon was over, it was my job to embody the message, to show up for the people that I serve,” he added. “And that’s what Joe Biden has been doing his entire life, his entire life of public service, and over the last four years, he has been showing up for the American people.”
