John Judis saw it the same way:

You are waaaaaay too deep in the weeds. No one is paying attention to Biden's response except the hardestcore of hardcore political junkies and people who want to believe Biden did something wrong. If I were advising Biden, while I wouldn't be asking the media not to book Giuliani, I would tell him to sit back and let Trump blow everything up without giving the underlying bullshit any air from Biden. No need to be out there having clips of him denying this garbage played again and again. Let Trump continue to talk himself into a deeper hole.
And to be fair--although I still think he has the best chance of beating Trump by the biggest margin--on a personal level, I'm not even that sure about Biden's abilities to do the job anymore. He keeps showing signs that he's too old for this shit.
