Fighting dirty.
Via Axios:
Joe Biden advisers believe coverage of allegations of inappropriate behavior is being stoked by rival Democrats — a dynamic that could actually fire up the vice president at a time when others see success as increasingly improbable.
Why it matters: Several around Biden think advisers to Bernie Sanders are at least partly behind the anti-Biden campaign. One prominent backer thinks Biden will run, and “is ready to kill Bernie.”
I got this text last night from a source close to Biden:
“VP directed staff this evening to reach out to supporters and donors with a simple message — full steam ahead.”
Why you’ll hear about this again: A second woman went on the record Monday to say that a past display of affection by Biden had made her feel uncomfortable.
