WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden, in a letter to congressional Democrats, stood firm against calls for him to drop his candidacy and called for an “end” to the intraparty drama that has torn apart Democrats about whether he should stay in the race after his dismal public debate performance.
Biden wrote in the two-page letter Monday that “the question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end.”
“We have 42 days to the Democratic Convention and 119 days to the general election,” Biden said in the letter. “Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us. It’s time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump.”
The letter was sent from the campaign to Democratic lawmakers as they return to Washington following the July 4 recess.

“Stop picking on me!”
Biden is right. Now he needs to go back to Delaware and go on vacation at Rehoboth Beach until it’s time for the Democratic Convention in Chicago.
These Bidens ......the whole lot of them....... are scary.......
no matter what happens they ignore it and do whatever suits them.
Downright scary people.
You can’t pick on old Joe. He’s despicable.
Slight error in that headline. Joe didn’t “decline” he said “I am in decline.”
And as to the ending of the drama, Joe watched 4 hours of soap operas a day and knows all about drama.
Biden brain trust group photo....
They had a scientist harness their total brain power as electrical energy. A child’s teddy bear shaped night light’s bulb flickered on and off for two minutes and went dead.
Photo....
All our back and forth guesses and speculation about the indentities of the secret handlers being from Obama or Soros or Communist China and now we see them in a photo.
Signed, Hunter.
Apparently he’s his daddy’s consultant in the WH nowadays. He and Jilly hate each other, but she hasn’t been very effective at running interference lately, so the Biden crime family has called for help. Hunter has been “advising” Dad for years and it is rumored that he actually lives at the WH (hence the coke).
He’s very aggressive, not because he luvs Daddy and doesn’t want the gravy train to end, but because he wants Daddy lined up to pardon him for his felonies (gun and tax evasion) but he hasn’t been sentenced in the second one yet.
What a depressing image. Jan 2025 cannot come soon enough. And if the election is stolen will the last one out turn off the lights?
It's clear from the debate that Joe Biden does not have enough cognition to say such a thing.
There is a power struggle behind the scenes. This is the initial negotiating position of one of the factions.
This is the initial negotiating position of one of the factions.
Here are the essential crisis negotiation skills of a NYPD HNT Negotiator:
Crisis Negotiation Skills #1. “Talk to Me”
The NYPD HNT’s motto, “Talk to Me,” emphasizes communication as an essential police negotiation technique for their crisis negotiators, and for good reason. Opening up avenues of communication to your counterpart signals that you are ready to listen, an integral first step to building rapport between negotiating counterparts by “build[ing] trust…as well as display[ing] empathy,” which can lead to further mutual gains at the bargaining table as the negotiation progresses beyond the initial stages.
Crisis Negotiation Skills #2. Patience
Not only is it important to allow your counterpart a forum to air concerns during a hostage negotiation, it is also critical for the crisis negotiator to be patient and “avoid jumping to conclusions and rushing quickly towards a resolution.” The patient negotiator seeks to build rapport so as to influence her counterpart’s actions; if she ignores this process, she greatly hinders her ability to influence her counterpart and resolve the situation in a peaceful manner.
Crisis Negotiation Skills #3. Active Listening
The NYPD Hostage Negotiations Team calls “active listening” an affective and effective skill. Active listening is an affective skill when it is used to build trust and rapport between negotiating parties with the effective byproduct of this process resulting in information gathering, which can help maintain an open dialogue with your negotiating counterpart.
Crisis Negotiation Skills #4. Respect
Active listening and patience are high on the list of the NYPD HRT’s conflict resolution tactics. Both result in your counterpart feeling she is respected and that her concerns are being heard and addressed.
Crisis Negotiation Skills #5. Calm
Displaying calm in the midst of a heated crisis negotiation is perhaps one of the most critical police negotiation techniques a hostage negotiator can master, because “the negotiator’s actions are contagious and . . . using a calm, understanding, and respectful tone is what helps the subject realize there is an alternative way out.”
Crisis Negotiation Skills #6. Self-Awareness
Self awareness for the NYPD HNT involves the dual realization that the crisis negotiator must establish a relationship with a complete stranger while keeping her communication strategic and purposeful in nature.
Crisis Negotiation Skills #7. Adaptability
A police negotiation technique that all skilled negotiators should possess in their negotiation skills repertoire is the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and to respond to those circumstances in a way that preserves the relationship they have built with their counterpart while also bringing them closer to their negotiation goals. As the NYPD HNT points out, “crisis and hostage negotiation is not a ‘cookie-cutter’ design where the same approach and actions are used each time in an identical way,” and, indeed, no skilled negotiator would ever approach the bargaining table with this mindset.
Biden: I am firmly committed
We agree he should be committed.
