President Biden's re-election campaign is all but over, CNN political commentator and former Bill Clinton strategist Paul Begala projected on Thursday.
"I've been talking to a lot of people, a lot of members in the Senate and House, major donors, activists, party chairs and I got to tell you, I think I‘ve come across one who is still ridin’ for Biden," Begala said candidly on CNN. "So the walls are closing in."
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime Biden ally, has made this argument in private calls to the president, according to CNN. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer has also "forcefully" argued to Biden that it would be best if he "bowed out of the race," according to a report from ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Begala stressed that Biden "has to" listen to this advice because all signs show his presidential bid is in dire jeopardy.
For weeks, Biden has resisted calls from a growing faction in his party to step down from the race. New reports this week show top Democratic leaders are now privately meeting with the president to urge him to step aside, fearing he cannot win against his GOP rival, former President Trump.

Biden’s Covid will become Long Covid, and he will have to resign,
Damn. Can’t we carry Joe a few more rounds?
They are demanding the sitting President of the United States step down because they can’t win with Biden as the candidate. If I was Biden I would tell them all to pound sand and if they want me out it is by the 25th Amendment. And Biden was already cleared by his neurologist who visited the White House 10 times.
I can’t wait to see Trumps speech tonight!
Can’t do much else at the moment.
The democrat party has a endless supply of Joe Biden’s fear not.
Proof that Bolsheviks did breed.
Tucker should be entertaining
If he's replaced, corporate media will have an opportunity to make his replacement look like the perfect candidate - something they can't do with Joe's history.
I am serious! Let me encourage all FReepers to go to the White House website and email Biden to encourage him to NOT drop out of the race.
"Mr. President - For the good of the country, I encourage you to ignore your detractors and continue your run for President."
Be sincere! /s
If Biden is the candidate, no one is going to buy the steal this time around. With a new candidate, however, they can pull it off.
I’ve been predicting this on FR and other venues for over two years. Neither Biden, nor Harris, will be on the ballot for Pres. in Nov.
“Begala stressed that Biden “has to” listen to this advice”
Begala—You and what army are going to force him to do it.
Great point!
On that score, put your bets on Harris.
Maybe they can get Special Prosecutor Smith to prosecute Plugs real quick. A rush job.
Run Dementia Joe, Run.
Don’t listen to the Forehead.
What a glorious circus.
The deep state Georgetown residents sold short and failed to assassinate Trump.
Now they are stuck with Biden, the guest that won’t leave.
Stay strong Joey B. The people need you, you old rascal.
No they can’t. They can’t win no matter who they replace Biden with.
Replacing Biden is about trying to salvage the down ballot, period.
It’s not about polls or donors, seeing us believing, once Dementia Joe has been seen, he cannot be unseen
When you’ve lost The Forehead it’s all over.
LOL
