Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) predicted that voters’ concerns about President Biden’s age could spell disaster for swing-district Democrats across the country in November.
Ryan, who was one of the first prominent Democrats to urge Biden to leave the presidential race last week, said in a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream that he expects more lawmakers to join his call.
“I think you’re going to see a significant amount of pressure whether it’s today or tomorrow, sometime this week, as the members come back that this may be untenable for them to all want to run under a Biden ticket,” Ryan said. “Because it’s going to drag everybody else down, and I think that’s a major, major concern for Leader [Hakeem] Jeffries [D-N.Y.], who’s a phenomenal leader.”
“I think his members, donors, activists around the country are very, very concerned,” he added.
Five Democrats in the House have called on Biden to leave the race, and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) is reported to be organizing Senators to do the same. Jeffries is reportedly scheduled to meet with House Democrats on Sunday afternoon to discuss Biden’s candidacy.
Ryan made clear that he is a fan of Biden, but said that the faltering debate performance has created concerns among voters that could prevent him from being reelected.
“If this is a sporting event, and you throw three interceptions, the coach pulls the quarterback,” Ryan said. “If you’re a pitcher that’s not getting the job done and they’re hitting home run dingers left and right, the manager goes in and pulls the pitcher out.”

The panic of the DP snakes means that recent polls showing movement to Biden are pure establishment lies. The posters are risking a hit to the reputation with push polls but they feel it’s worth it to stop the momentum of the bleed out. In order to preserve the reputation I’ll swing back in a week or so.
Good
Good!
Stay in Brandon....WE NEED YOU!
Notice how lil the news has shifted to concern over Biden’s age. Biden age concerns and stating people think he is too old to run. There is no MSM talk of mental issues just age issues today.
I believe this is by design so once Biden steps down they can say Trump will be as old as Biden by 2028 and shouldn’t voters have concerns about HIS advanced he.
we can only hope!
We can only hope that Biden’s incompetence drags down all Democrats.
Hakeem Jeffries is a “phenomenal leader”? A racist rabble rouser and typical dem liar is a “phenomenal leader”? This guy is delusional.
YES!
His corruption and perversion are not a problem.
Only his age.
Nothing close to what trying to skip over Kamala Harris is gonna do
Stay BRANDON!!! We love you at Free Republic. You are a stone gold genius compared to Donald Trump and much more coherent! TRUMP will be a faciest Benito Mussolini dictator! And lock up all up with the J6 Pukes in Alaska interment camps.
Draggin down the down-ticket races would be ideal. If Dem(entia) party turnout is off by 5-10 percent, we would almost certainly take the senate and expand our majority in the house.
Maintaining power is far more important than the security of the United States . . .
Drag everybody else down’ on democratic ticket.
Have tar and feathers ready.
Let liberty live
Yeah, no worries about the country, it’s all about the power, the Party. These guys are pathetic. My current hope is that the nuclear launch button isn’t on the same fob as Biden’s Life Alert button.
You watch. People are so lackluster about Slow Joe that they simply won’t show up so the Democrats will put some abortion bill on state ballots - and run endless commercials about how it’s Handmaiden’s Tale if Biden doesn’t win - to get the disinterested to the polls.
