Biden campaign argues president dropping out would 'lead to weeks of chaos'

President Joe Biden's campaign on Saturday night, in a fundraising appeal to supporters, said the president dropping out would only "lead to weeks of chaos" and leave the eventual replacement weakened ahead of a November faceoff with former President Donald Trump.

"The bedwetting brigade is calling for Joe Biden to 'drop out.' That is the best possible way for Donald Trump to win and us to lose," Biden deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty argued in the email to supporters.

"First of all: Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly," Flaherty added. "And if he were to drop out, it would lead to weeks of chaos, internal foodfighting, and a bunch of candidates who limp into a brutal floor fight at the convention, all while Donald Trump has time to speak to American voters uncontested."

He continued: "All of that would be in service of a nominee who would go into a general election in the weakest possible position with zero dollars in their bank account. You want a highway to losing? It's that."

Other than the argument that chaos would ensure with a Biden withdrawal, the note included asking supporters to tell friends that despite the "rough" start to the debate, "voters saw what a threat Donald Trump is" and that "the long-term impact of debates is overstated."

"And lastly, but most importantly, you've got to keep the faith," Flaherty said toward the end of his email, adding that the campaign was going to "keep our heads down and do the work."

Dear Rob Flaherty,

I think you’re right. To whom do I write my check to support your cause?

Leaving him where he is WILL ALSO LEAD TO WEEKS OF CHAOS. The cat’s out of the bag even for the low info voters.

As opposed to the almost FOUR YEARS of chaos he has rained down on the nation?

We’ve already had three and a half years of chaos. The chaos will persist at least until January 21st.

Hah, hah, hah!!! What a Catch-22 the libtards have gotten themselves into. I just love seeing a bunch of frantic loonatics scrambling around looking for their marbles.

They did not mention that laws in three swing states don’t allow for a replacement unless the 25th is invoked or he dies. Republicans should start now and pass similar legislation in their states. Make them fight for it.

Naaa, be like 20 minutes, a half hour at best of sort of chaos but we’d get over it pretty quick.

One thing for sure. Whether Biden withdraws or whether forced off the ticket, Biden will pardon Hunter, not only on the gun conviction, but, more importantly, on the tax fraud charge that may implicate him and his entire family and which goes to trial in a few weeks. The pardon will prevent the trial from happening. The Big Guy is cognizant enough to even go so far as to pardon Hunter’s similarly charged business associates for the very same reason.
