Many Democrats Are Sticking With Biden. Here's Why
BBC ^ | 7/12 | Madeline Halpert & Brajesh Upadhyay,

As Joe Biden took to the stage for a rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday evening, one of the most raucous crowds seen in recent years at any event for the US president chanted: "Don't you quit!"

The presumptive Democratic nominee was greeted by deafening cheers from hundreds of supporters as he vowed: "I am running! And I'm gonna win!" As he left the stage, the strains of Tom Petty's hit I Won't Back Down washed over the high school gymnasium, an implicit rebuff to the growing list of elected members of his party exhorting him to step aside amid concerns about his age. But for all the headlines dominated by the latest politician, donor or liberal actor to turn on Mr Biden, a longer list of Democrats are sticking by him.

At least 80 Democratic politicians have publicly backed the 81-year-old, and more are joining them as he insists he is going nowhere. To many, his political record, his principles and his 2020 victory over Donald Trump mean more than the damage of a rambling performance in any debate or public appearance, or health fears during a new four-year term.

I think, like most here, I’ve been hoping for this. I hope they go through with that early virtual nomination vote. Just this calendar year he has declined so markedly. 3.5 months, stress, and another debate lie ahead for this very ill old man

Beat me to it. I was going to say because they’re stupid, but they’re democrat voters. Saying they’re stupid is kind of redundant.

One "good" event won't bring back the folks, especially money, that has paused. Declining old age doesn't miraculously reverse itself. All he's done is briefly stop the bleeding.

Tonight still had issues, on brain freeze and a number of abrupt changes.

Either Biden has them on his payroll, or they support Biden for running the Rat cheat machine and think they can steal another election with the millions of illegals they permitted to invade the U.S.

I was hoping for this also. Then it occurred to me that nobody makes a mistake like this. Nobody.

They will not let Biden do a second debate. You heard it here first.

It was the 75th NAAO celebration, it was not a crowd gathered for the President himself. 🤣

The pitiful press lying & covering for Biden still, byt since it's the BBC, totally expected. 🤣

Well...I do know of people who have indeed suffered with long Covid for years...but they also aren’t running or serving as President of the United States, either.

That said, that’s absurd - that is not Biden’s problem. This started before Covid ever came around.
