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.”

I’m not sure I want to hear about Biden’s ‘movements’!
The "COVID" tonight is the pretext. They are setting the stage for Kamala and/or Gruesome Newsom.
Oops! Not movements, moments.
He said previously he’d step down if he had medical issues. Lo and behold! he now has Covid. Coincidence???
Also tested positive: a cocktail napkin, a can of Pepsi, and one of the tires on Air Force One.
The fact that the media is pushing this effort very hard from the moment the debate ended has me wondering exactly who is the actual “entity” leading the left.
Sometimes it does seem like our media is the entity who is the driving force behind destroying our Republic.
What an amazing coincidence!
Good bye, Joe. We hardly knew ya.
Please no Newscum.
This is about delaying the announcement of Newsom until it’s too late for good oppo research, and that’s all it’s about.
And when poor Biden is finally kicked to the curb, all the FJB retards will be so busy celebrating they will forget to vote.
Newsom/Whitmer.
As I have been saying since Christmas 2022.
It’s all about the money, and immunity, so here’s how I’d see if I were Biden. He cannot be forced out because, ultimately, he has the delegates and the rules behind him. But, if he does not win, he loses both his campaign money and any prospect of immunity. However, if he makes a deal with the Democrats and their new candidate does not beat Trump, again, he loses both. Ironically, since the odds favor Trump no matter who replaces him, Biden’s smartest option is to cut his deal with the Republicans: I stay in the race and you agree not to prosecute me or my family. If that does happen, no one will ever know it.
No, no. You were right the first time. Biden’s movements are always pushing BS. And promoting t*rds.
Not sure how they can do away with Kamala however. Even though she’s dumb as a bag of hammers, the Democrat black base will be put off to see her dumped for a couple of white people.
Nailed it .But if I were Trump, I’d only agree if Joe spills the beans on Obama and Hillary.
If joe goes then kammy gets the money to run on.
