WASHINGTON — Several of President Joe Biden’s closest allies, including three people who are directly involved in efforts to re-elect him, told NBC News they now see his chances of winning as zero — and the likelihood of him taking down fellow Democratic candidates growing.
“He needs to drop out,” one Biden campaign official said. “He will never recover from this.”
For two weeks, Biden has struggled to stabilize his campaign following a late-June debate debacle. His ongoing clean-up effort, which is scheduled to include top aides meeting privately with Democratic senators and a presidential news conference Thursday, has done little to reassure lawmakers and party officials.
Instead, the reverse is happening.
But as more Democrats come to the conclusion that Biden can’t win — and shouldn’t try — his innermost circle has tightened to the point that it includes only family members and a couple of longtime advisers, according to two people familiar with deliberations about the future of the campaign.
The combination of Biden floundering publicly and relying on an increasingly insular set of advisers privately has damaged Democratic insiders’ confidence in his ability to make the best decisions for himself, the party and the country.

I like those odds. Stay in Joe, fight the elites.
Won’t someone please consider Hunter’s plight?!? Even if daddy loses, he has the power to pardon, well into 1-‘25.
I don’t think Biden or any of the other Dems being considered have a chance against Trump (assuming the election isn’t stolen).
I’d say Joe/Jill and family will need a $$$$ buyout. I’m serious. Clooney could have offered the $30 mill he supposedly raised a few weeks ago. Dems float in money? Here’s a new drinking game...how much does it cost Dems to put the $$$ dough in Joe’s bank account?
Media ramping up the dump Joe talk again.
If he mumbles and drools at the presser tonight it’s over.
And so will Kamala. Here's 50 million and a corporate board seat that pays another 5 mil/year, go away.
These folks are definitely not “staying on message”.
Perhaps a visit from an FBI SWAT team will convince them to stop the “insurrection” talk.
:-)
The 2000 mules must have looked at their grocery bills.
A lot of primary voters are about to get disenfranchised.
It's the part in parenthesis they're counting on. However, need to add the word "again" onto the end.
I thought his path was through the back garden and in through the side door, rather than going through the White House’s front entrance.
Is the finger writing on the wall for Joe Biden?
My impression of Jill is that she’s in it for the prestige. Money isn’t what she wants. And I think she’s the decision maker here.
They feel comfortable saying this because the cheat will be bigger than last time.
Here comes Hillary/Kamala vs Trump/?
Run, Forrest, run!
Don’t tell me Joe’s writing on the White House walls with his crayons again.
It’s over
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
There’d be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize your time is over
When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun
That rises over the land
I watch you walk away
Somehow I have to let you go
Because it’s over
If you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people sundown and then forget
Oh, there might have been a way somehow
I have to force myself to say it’s over
So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all
I set my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
Now it’s over
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
There’d be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize your time is over
Are joe, jill, hunter and those three or so advisors running the cheat?
Could the deep dem state threaten to withhold the cheat ballots unless joe drops out and gives the 250 million in campaign money to Kamala?
Would THAT make them drop out?
