Biden in crisis

REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware — President Joe Biden’s reelection bid appeared to be nearing the point of collapse on Thursday, amid a cascade of warnings from the Democratic Party’s top leaders that they have lost confidence in his candidacy.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi each told Biden in separate meetings over the last week that he should reconsider his reelection run or risk losing and dragging the rest of the party down with him. Schumer was “pretty harsh” in his conversation with Biden, said one senior Hill Democrat briefed on the discussion.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the likely next senator from California who is close with Pelosi, became the 20th House Democrat to publicly call for Biden to step aside amid “serious concerns” about whether he can beat former President Donald Trump.

And House Democrats, party operatives and former administration officials who want Biden to step aside expressed growing optimism that the intensifying pressure campaign would finally crack the shell of defensiveness, denial and unwavering determination constructed around Biden — and that he and his most loyal aides may be starting to listen, said three people familiar with private conversations who were granted anonymity to describe them. Others viewed the leaks of the days-old conversations as a sign the petitioners have grown impatient.

“This is an absolute debacle,” said one senior Democratic official who is close to congressional leadership. “Only amateurs see a path. The red is mushrooming all across the map.”

The voters in the Democratic primaries overwhelmingly voted for Biden. Jeffries and Pelosi now want go against the will of the voters. They are an EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY! They must be stopped!

Well in 5 States only way Plugs Biden name can be removed from the Ballot is by the 25th Amendment or death and I am leaning heavily towards the latter for Biden.

If they don’t give the nod to Harris, they’re going to scream sexism and racism.

Joe is way too arrogant to step aside on his own. He still believes himself to be at the top of his game. Such is typical of dementia patients.

Pass the popcorn!

Full court press today. The Democrat insurrectionists are trying hard to create a drumbeat that Biden will withdraw by the weekend. LOL

Stay in Joe!

Yes, their internal polling must be tanking for them.

As for Biden, couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

“Rep. Adam Schiff, the likely next senator from California”

Ooooh, so that’s why they need to get rid of FJB . . .

Go Steve Garvey!
