Democrats are biding their time until after this week’s NATO summit to pressure President Biden into ending his re-election bid, a party pollster told The Post Thursday***
“I’m of the belief that this is very close to the end,” said John Zogby, pollster and founder of an eponymous marketing and political consulting firm.
“[I think] that the NATO summit wasn’t a test so much for Biden as it was a holding action,” he added. “You don’t embarrass the world’s leader in front of world leaders. You’re going to see more and more Congress people come out and I think the end is very near.”

I think everyone will be talking over Friday, Saturday and by Sunday you should have some idea of what’s going on,” Sen.

Yep. And Biden has way more than enough pledged delegates to win the party’s 2024 nomination. But the Democrats have a nuclear option. The DNC could change the convention rules at the last minute, and allow all delegates to “vote their conscience“ on the first ballot.
Such a move would be very undemocratic, but legal.
The Big Guy press conference is all foreign journalists, and it’s going to be focused on the NATO meetings. He will do fine with his note cards, and limited topics in questioning.
I'm hoping for a convention that makes Chicago '68 look like a meditation session.
At any rate, it's been years since I've actually looked forward to reading the news every day!
Yes he will, and fine = suburb, lucid, strong.
oh foreign journalists, so basically a BIG waste of time..foreign journalists dont want Biden to leave the White House
