This is pure media framing folks. The decision was made already for him to drop out - Pelosi broadcast it hard with "I think it’s a legitimate question". But the DNC isn't interested in the narrative being "Biden drops out due to bad debate performance", but instead wants some performative bullshit like "Biden drops out due to media pressure distracting the American people from discussing the core issues at hand in the race." So they'll spend the next week or two spinning up a shitstorm of a media riot with whiplashing messages.
In reality grandpa shit the bed and killed his own campaign in a single night. Oopsie.
