WASHINGTON — Some longtime aides and advisers to President Joe Biden have become increasingly convinced that he will have to step aside from the campaign, and in recent days they have been trying to come up with ways to persuade him that he should, according to three people briefed on the matter.

A small group of Biden’s advisers in the administration and the campaign — at least two of whom have told allies that they do not believe he should keep trying to run for a second term — have said they would have to convince the president of several things.

They said they have to make the case to the president, who remains convinced of the strength of his campaign, that he cannot win against former President Donald Trump.

The internal deliberations speak to the standoff between Biden and his party, in which the president has become increasingly entrenched in his conviction to run, and party leaders are publicly hinting that now may be the time for him to step aside.

Now, in the third week of the biggest political crisis to have faced his presidency, Biden remains convinced that he is the man to win. His view is increasingly at odds with the mood of voters and members of his own party.

The consensus inside Biden’s operation is that it will take hard numbers to convince him, particularly polling showing that his support has eroded significantly.

1) They succeed and he’s out.

2) So are they. With their stuff on the sidewalk by a line of U Hauls.

3) CNN, MSNBC, PBS and NewsNation do not answer their many calls or acknowledge their emailed resume offers.

Years ago they could have had him go for a drive with Ted Kennedy. Perhaps he could go hunting with Dick Cheney.

Go for a fun weekend with Associate Justice Scalia, or a jog with Andrew Breitbart or Seth Rich.

Out of work staff at WH to Kamala: “You know, some of John F. Kennedy’s best and brightest stayed on with LBJ.
And we meant you are a silly, giddy, laughing hyena affirmative action hire in a nice way. You know, kidding around. Heh, heh.”

Note:
In this memo, the new President, Lyndon Baines Johnson, planned how he would address John F. Kennedy’s cabinet the day after his assassination. Traditionally, new Presidents choose new cabinets, but Johnson hoped to create a sense of continuity by retaining the personnel that Kennedy had in place.

Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who famously clashed with LBJ on a deeply personal level, stayed in his cabinet for only ten months, resigning in September, 1964, to run for the Senate in New York.
In the end, four Kennedy cabinet members—Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman, and Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz—stayed with LBJ through the final days of his administration in January, 1969.
