Numerous officials, lawmakers and strategists in President Biden’s own party increasingly see his candidacy as unsustainable — and their private anxieties are slowly but steadily spilling into public view, interviews with more than 50 Democrats this week showed.
Growing swaths of Democrats now believe that by remaining on the ticket, the president is jeopardizing their ability to maintain the White House and threatening other candidates up and down the ballot. The moment is setting up an extraordinary clash between a defiant president of the United States who insists he is not abandoning his re-election campaign and members of his party who are beginning to suggest that he should.
“I have less and less confidence in this campaign’s ability to win this race,” Representative Scott Peters, Democrat of California, said in an interview. “If we know we’re going to lose, we would be foolish not to look at another course.”
Representative Angie Craig, Democrat of Minnesota, urged Mr. Biden on Saturday to step aside as the Democratic nominee. “I do not believe that the president can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump,” she said in a statement.
Lawmakers say they have been deluged with concerns about Mr. Biden’s candidacy from donors and constituents. Among members of the Democratic National Committee, essentially the political arm of the White House, many said that they remained supportive, but even there, fissures are emerging.
And a Democratic member of Congress, a former high-ranking Obama administration official and a senior aide to a prominent Democratic governor all privately used the same word in separate interviews on Friday to describe Mr. Biden’s standing in the campaign: “untenable.”

Biden is being hounded out of office.
Who cares about running the country and keeping us safe on a daily basis? It's all about winning in November, right Scott?
Jill will not be pushed out of office so easily.
They're flippin' out. Put 'em all on record. Let's go Brandon.
I love the smell of Civil War in the mornning.
The longer Joe stays, the better. Because what he’s got isn’t jet lag or a cold or anything that more sleep and time will make better. Leaving voluntarily is the best course fo the party but the worst for the Bidens so they won’t do it. That will just add fuel to the dumpster fire and prolong the chaos and division.
Not gonna say many dems are going to say screwit I’m voting for Trump, but I will say more and more dems will just become disgusted with their party and stay home or file their mail-in ballot in the bin. That is the optimal outcome as it will hurt the downticket dem candidates, not just Stubborn Joe.
If only Jill would leave Joe’s side for the moment, Nancy Pelosi may be able to convince Joe that he had already stepped down yesterday.
They will have to use drastic measures to get him out. Time is running out. Tik tok.
The sharks smell blood, the alpha is weakened.
Like the pride lion.
Both the New York Times and ABC News are now defending President Trump. That is how desperate they are to kick Biden out.
Why are the leftists doing this while Pedo Biden’s poll numbers are supposedly going up? Lol. The presstitutes are lying again.
Why can’t these guys just learn from history and provide us with a decent bloodbath in the basement of the Lubyanka? Is that too much to ask?
Of course, if they all feel that way, they should choose someone else at the convention. The only reason they’re all frantic now is that they can’t lie about it and get away with it anymore. We’ve all of us seen the emperor’s nakedness all along, and they’ve seen it too, but pretended not to. I’m waiting for them to gang up on whoever had the bright idea to have this early debate to begin with. Or maybe they’ve been playing double chess and this was their aim all along...
Pres Valarie Jarret and Obama has unleashed their media dogs .
These sock puppets are losers and they want them gone to stay in power .
We’re all running out of popcorn.
This is the crux of what will happen. Jill has no love for Dementia Joe, she doesn't even view him as a sentient human being (which he isn't).
She'll use him as a human shield against the arrows fired at him (her) by the vicious, treacherous democrats.
Did you see the movie “The Death of Stalin”? What is going on now reminds me of the opening minutes of the film.
My thought, as well.
The angst in D.C. is allll political. The deeper problem is this- if he can’t run for president, if his party believes he can’t win, then how the hell is he running the country NOW? What about today? Who is in charge at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? I understand politics matter, but c’mon, man.
The 25th Amendment cannot be ignored. The country is at risk every minute this president is in office.
