A new moment for Biden? One Democratic adviser says: ‘He’s being receptive’

As President Joe Biden flies back to Delaware from Las Vegas on Wednesday night, cutting his trip short after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most momentous decisions of his long political life: Should he heed the rising calls from his fellow Democrats to extinguish his bid for reelection?

For Biden, is it a new moment?

Even though anger and panic have been steadily rising inside the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks, after the president’s alarming debate performance in Atlanta, the White House and the Biden campaign are in a new place, multiple Democratic officials told CNN.

“The private conversations with the Hill are continuing,” a senior Democratic adviser told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid alienating the campaign and the White House. “He’s being receptive. Not as defiant as he is publicly.”

“He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala can’t win,’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win? “ the adviser said. “It’s still unclear where he’s going to land but seems to be listening.

The comments come at a crucial time for the Biden campaign. ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reported earlier Wednesday that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Biden on Saturday that it would be best if Biden bowed out of the presidential race.

In a statement responding to the ABC News reporting, a Schumer spokesperson said, “Unless ABC’s source is Senator Chuck Schumer or President Joe Biden the reporting is idle speculation. Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus directly to President Biden on Saturday.”

The jerk is probably getting exhausted from his handlers rushing him about that he’s ready to tell Jill and the rest of them, F-— it.

Not sure how they can do away with Kamala however.

She's a chicken farmer so probably bird flu.

Interesting!! One day Biden says, “if I had some medical condition that emerged,” I might bow out.

Next day he is diagnosed with Covid. Covid has same symptoms as the flu and a cold. I wonder what the pay-off price is??

I smell a big-time transfer of money - taxpayer’s money (maybe from PPP surplus)

1) She’s not really black
2) She married a Jew
3) She’s famous for sending brothers up for weed

Dumping her is not going to be a problem.

If the Dems pick Newsom over Kamalalala, they will lose support from women, especially Black women.

“especially Black women”

I didn’t know black women were high on sisters who marry Jews and send their menfolk up for weed.

I’ve always figured Joe’s ‘’medical condition’’ was that he’s mentally retarded.

1) She’s not really black

She is 25% black at most, and that is more than enough to qualify as 100% black as long as she self identifies as a democRat.
