Senator Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, is reportedly open to a new presidential candidate to lead the Democratic Party ticket. This comes as the fallout from Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance just keeps getting worse. Schumer had indicated prior to the debate, as well, that he was open to a new nominee should Biden fail to deliver.
Axios reports that "Over the last twelve days, Schumer has been listening to donors' ideas and suggestions about the best way forward for the party, according to three people familiar with the matter." Even as Schumer has been saying he's all in "for Joe," he's been signaling to donors that he's willing to change to a candidate who has a better change of winning against Donald Trump.
So much for democracy by the Democrats!

NEW: Biden aides are telephoning convention delegates to head off a rebellion in Chicago
I talked to four delegates who got temp-taking calls this week
I’ve also learned of an effort by dels asking for rule change so they can vote their conscience
I hope Biden at least makes it to the convention.

NEW: Retiring Rep. Earl Blumenauer becomes the 9th House Democrat to call for Biden to withdraw.
“We will all be better served if the president steps aside as the Democratic nominee and manages a transition under his terms.”
Nah uh uh they are STUCK WITH BIDEN..they wanted him, the DNC made sure that NO ONE else had a chance to run..they made their bed they gotta lie in it
I bet they have polls showing a flip from Biden to just about any other DEM is a winner for them. They already have massive voter fraud on their side. Pushing out Biden will amp up the troops.
Ditch Ditch AND the smarmy Chuck[up].
Biden is being treated like he isn’t really the president of the United States.
Six ways to exit the debate stage.....
Pelosi this morning, Schumer this afternoon. Wow.
I believe Biden’s presser is tomorrow. That should seal his fate. Pierno actually said today that he should cancel the presser. My guess, he will call on flunkies who will attempt to continue the ruse.
Now that’s what I call an ‘Eye Opener’!
I thought Schumer was part of that Ultra-Rock-Solid-Guard,
the way Pelosi had always been ... until two days ago.
Next, I expect one of the Clinton Elders to pipe up, followed by the “Lady” in the Blue Dress.
So, will they push him out before the Republican convention so that the Republican criticism of Biden doesn’t get amplified with that platform? I’m beginning to think that he’ll be out Friday night, else by Sunday night. That’ll also steal some attention from the Republican convention.
Nancy and Chuck... Chuck and Nancy... Makes no difference to Jill and Hunter... They can go ‘f’ themselves.
You hang in there Biden’s... Your supporters are out there.
The decision to dump biden was made long ago.
This is just a “slow play” script. Maybe on a slightly accellerated schedule bc of the debate, but biden was going to be replaced one way or another.
No one is suddenly having a ‘coming to Jesus’ moment. It’s all an act performed by professional liars.
They still don’t have a salable substitute candidate. So I think those in control will keep Biden. They do need a new veep candidate however, ineligible Harris is a big drag on the entire D ticket that they know they must ditch and ditch fast.
Money is the opiate of politics. Chucky Schmucky sees the donor money at risk. To hell with the candidate.
> I’ve also learned of an effort by dels asking for rule change so they can vote their conscience <
And there it is. It sure looks like Biden is digging in. He will not release his delegates. So they will be forced to vote for him on the first ballot of the convention. That vote will give Biden the nomination by an overwhelming margin.
Unless the rascals at the DNC change the rules at the last moment. Dr. Jill wouldn’t like that one bit. Sour and angry she will be.
