'No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path': Biden insiders say the writing is on the wall

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.

Clooney and Obama seem to be treatening to use the Macron method when all other doors close. It is the last ditch chance for the Globalists. Biden would step down and Harris step up to take over the Weekend at Bernie role with the Democrats openly dumping Israel. Think about, Obama could blame it all on Kamala.

“If he mumbles and drools at the presser tonight it’s over.”

The entire, extended commie media/political apparatus KNOWS he’ll do just that.

And that’s why they are putting him up there.

While I detest the man, it’ll be a sad circus. And an embarrassment for the nation.

Fake news. He will do a reasonable job in the press conference, which will focus on NATO. He may or may not take any questions about any other subject, especially if the presser includes a NATO person or Zelensky.

They keep telling him to make a decision. He keeps telling them what his decision is. They don’t like it so they keep pretending he hasn’t decided.

Replacing Biden is not about the White House... the White House is done.. and they know it..

Replacing Biden is conceding that fact, and is about trying to get the dejected left wing base unified and motivated to show up to prevent a down ballot massacre, period.
