Democrat Congressman Peters: Biden campaign response to debate 'arrogant'

“We want to know what [the Biden campaign’s] plan is to win this election and turn these numbers around,” says Rep. Peters. “If they don’t have a plan, then I think we have to move in a different direction.”

Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) says the Biden campaign's response to the president's controversial debate performance has been "arrogant."

Peters made the comments during an interview with a local TV news outlet.

“As much as I love Joe Biden, in those swing states, he’s having a hard time,” Peters said during an interview on Wednesday with CBS 8 San Diego. “We needed a boost from Thursday. We didn’t get it. And the campaign has been very, I think, arrogant in their response.”

Peters said he wants to hear Biden's plan to win swing states where he is currently trailing former President Trump.

“We want to know what [the Biden campaign’s] plan is to win this election and turn these numbers around,” he said. “If they don’t have a plan, then I think we have to move in a different direction.”
