Former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile said Sunday that all eyes will be on Democratic delegates before the party’s convention as President Biden faces rising concerns over his age.
Brazile said the returned electoral ballots from the party’s delegates will show Biden if there are serious concerns about his candidacy.
“Those delegates who have by and large been supportive of the president, pledged to the president, they will submit their ballots hopefully within one week,” she said in an ABC “This Week” interview.
“We will probably ascertain better than any pollster, better than any pundit, better than any strategist, just where the president stands with his own delegates,” she added.
An increasing number of Democrats have called on Biden to leave the presidential race over concerns about his age and well-being and whether he can defeat former President Trump in November.
The president has so far strongly rejected the calls.
Brazile underlined the importance of the situation for Biden, making clear that the issue of whether he continues his campaign is about more than just him.
“This is a critical time for the country. It’s a very challenging time for the Democratic Party, perhaps a sad and difficult moment for the Biden family,” Brazile said.
She acknowledged the criticism but stood by Biden, again encouraging a focus on party members in their nomination votes this month.

Wait...what? Is she suggesting that the delgates not actually vote for the person who won the primary? Uhmmm. Isn’t that called an insurrection?
Can the DemoRat Delegates mail in their ballots to the DNC convention? They can have Ruby Freedman’s team tally up the votes. Make sure there is a restroom nearby with some leaky plumbing issues, LOL.
It’s not about his age!
She spent time noting that she is a delegate, not a super, they’ve been renamed. Why does she get a role in picking the nominee, or, put another way, undermining the will of the people at the primaries?
One of the reasons I think they keep putting his condition in terms of his his age, is because Trump is about the same age. They're hoping to tar Trump with Biden's brush while avoiding acknowledging Biden's diminishing state.
IMO, that’s exactly what she’s saying. And, I believe this is a very deliberate statement intended to broach this subject publicly.
They have to destroy democracy in order to save democracy.
Is she calling for the delegates to disenfranchise the Demon-rat electorate?
Is she going to stuff the ballot box with votes for her master Hillary?
You are right on time, fi.
It’s a form of gaslighting if you ask This Guy.
Twisting the issue to deflect, and to tar mentally-sharp Trump.
Advanced chronological age is only a rough first approximation of the problem with Biden. A few seconds of actual independent thought is necessary to conclude that it’s not age per se but mental decay.
She’s a DNC employee. DNC Inc. will tell them what to do and if they want to keep their cushy job, they’ll do as their told.
“ELECTION INTERFERENCE”-—AND SHE SKATED
Except she seems to be forgetting two little details, first Biden is the only name on the convention ballot, and second convention rules FORCE the delegates to vote who they are pledged too on the first ballot, unless she is claiming there is going to be some sort of mass delegate revolt and they are going to break convention rules and write in another candidate or something. I don’t really see this happening though as delegates are typically chosen for their loyalty to their candidate. People who have donated large sums of money, people who have worked for the campaign, personal friends of the candidate, etc.
