House Democratic leadership is set to hold a call this afternoon, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill, as anxiety rises over President Biden’s standing as the party’s presumptive nominee.
The call — scheduled for 5 p.m. EDT — will include Democratic leadership and members of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, one of the sources said.
The discussion comes as questions — and concerns — are rising about Biden’s ability to remain at the top of the Democratic Party’s ticket after his lackluster debate performance last week.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett (Texas) on Tuesday became the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to call on Biden to step aside from the ticket, breaking the wall of public support the president had enjoyed among congressional Democrats in the aftermath of the debate. When asked about other lawmakers in the caucus following suit, another House Democrat told The Hill, “I would think but not sure.”
Shortly after Doggett’s statement, moderate Democratic Reps. Jared Golden (Maine) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.) said they believed former President Trump would beat Biden in November, chipping away at the party’s confidence in their party’s presumptive nominee.
Biden and his team, to be sure, have consistently said the president is up for another four years in office, brushing off last week’s debate as a poor performance by the commander in chief.
“He knows how to do the job, not because he says it, because his record proves it. Because for three and a half years, almost four years, the president’s record has been unprecedented, delivering for the American people,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday.

This was reading off the teleprompter this afternoon
But to be fair it was around 4:15 or so
Joe Biden instructs you to lick the world.

Yeah. They keep saying the issue is a bad debate. Misses the point entirely. He’s got a bad brain. He can’t do anything. The debate exposed this but the debate itself isn’t the problem. The guy can’t read a teleprompter now.
Their internal polls must be devastating.
Waiting to replace Biden will not do down ticket Democrats any good... He needs to go a.s.a.p.... Because if he’s too demented to run, then he’s too demented to be President. There is no chance that Biden will be left in charge until January 20th, 2025... That’s not an option.
He’s been a mess for months...but something new has happened....that has everyone upset. I think he had a min stroke....and he has dementia.
Staffers loyal to Kamala Harris substituted her teleprompter feed in for Dementia Joe’s ...
President Harris come Monday morning
Leaked polling memo ‘shook Democrats in their boots,’ says former Obama adviser

Its the JUDGEMENT of the Democrats that will be their undoing. Focus on their JUDGEMENT to defeat them.
Can’t you be quiet about it for six weeks?
Biden’s “PRESS SEC” has wrested the trophy for lying away from BAGHDAD BOB
The key number to me is the 7% margin in PA.
If that is valid then they will boot Biden—by hook or crook.
Purple Monkey Telephone.
Our opinions do not matter on Biden’s future.
The Democrat insiders know exactly what the situation is at this point—they will have zero tolerance for spinning and gaslighting.
I’ve never seen a candidate lose so bad that his own party turned against him.
“Their internal polls must be devastating.”
Yup, Yahoo had story about one internal poll Dem that had leaked (probably from Dems concerned about Joe). The poll showed Trump with solid leads in every single swing state, tied in CO & NM. The private polling firm has been used by Dems for years. I pretty much ignore media and college university polls, but this Dem internal poll was brutal, one reason Dems are panicking.
So, it’s (obviously) only because they know Trump will beat him in election that they want to replace him. Callous, aren’t they?
