'We're close to the end': Biden world braces for the possibility that the president steps aside
NBC News ^ | 7/18/24 | Natasha Korecki, Carol E. Lee and Monica Alba

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s political world is collapsing. Top allies have either publicly or privately called on him to step aside. Major donations have fallen off a cliff. Grassroots fundraising is not keeping up with the demands of a campaign that needs to aggressively scale up three months before the presidential election. Members of his own re-election effort have already declared he has no path to victory.

Since a disastrous debate in Atlanta upended the trajectory of his campaign three weeks ago, Biden has again and again attempted to dig in, bucking efforts to dislodge him from power.

But there is now a palpable sense that the ground has shifted underneath him, according to five people with knowledge of the situation, even among some of the president’s most defiant internal backers who now believe the writing is on the wall.

“We’re close to the end,” a person close to Biden said.

Three people wrote the article.

There were no named sources.

In the old days one person wrote the article and there were several named sources.

If he takes too long, they poison him and he dies in his sleep. And for not cooperating, scumbags hunter and jill may feel the pain, too. Being cowards, I’d expect them to close up shop this week. I would have thought the people that tried to off Trump would do the same for biden to get momentum and moral momentum, but maybe not.

I expect Democrats to attempt to squash Donald Trump’s convention speech momentum by announcing tonight/tomorrow AM that Biden has stepped down and now their candidate will be Ka-MAH-la. **all swoon**

“Since a disastrous debate in Atlanta ...”


It wasn’t his debating skills that was the disaster. It was the fact that for an hour and a half, America could see the cognitive state that Biden was in. The thousand-yard stare, the mouth gaping open, his confusion all of it. And all though they tried, they could not convince us to unsee and unhear what America saw and heard.

Biden was behind Trump before the debate - his trajectory was down. The debate was an Hail Mary pass to see if Biden could improve his dismal polling numbers.

Unfortunately the Biden debate prep team told him to freeze, look into space and leave his mouth hanging open. It is all their fault because they didn’t surgically implant a new brain into Slow Noe’s skull lol.

The pressure is increasing. The unnamned political allies speak louder and louder and some have even gone public. However, Biden has all the votes necessary to win the nomination.

Those political dealers do not like to lose, but so far Biden (and his family) is sitting with the winning hand.

Is there enough graft to convince him to retreat? Maybe, otherwise we will see if the sudden COVID-19 infection was a way to keep him safe from his “allies” or a way to end his career and maybe his life.

I think the Trump campaign is ready for that eventuality. See their response to scheduling the VP-debate.

LOL!
