Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), national co-chair of President Biden’s reelection campaign, said Friday that Biden is “weighing” who would be the best Democratic nominee to defeat former President Trump in November, indicating Biden is carefully evaluating the option of stepping aside for another candidate.
But Coons also emphasized he thinks Biden would be the strongest choice to challenge Trump in the general election, and he later posted a statement on social media declaring Biden is “in it to win it.”
“This is an internal party matter and a matter of the campaign that is playing out very publicly. I think our president is weighing what he should weigh, which is: Who is the best candidate to win in November and to carry forward the Democratic Party’s values and priorities in this campaign?” Coons said at the Aspen Security Forum.

They are clearly in a rapid fire spin war with media leaks.
Biden stepping aside would look even worse.
They either run Biden and lose or not run Biden and lose even more.
Seems like we are getting some mixed messages here.
Biden's finding: ME!!!!
Coons—”internal party matter”.
This must be the “our democracy” I keep hearing about...
Well, my debate team beat his team at the Yale Tournament in 1984, but he was actually a very good debater (we kept them out of the final round!).
One thing college parliamentary debate trains you for is taking either side of a question. He’s still good at that, I guess.
This clown just spun and spun until he got dizzy...
Why don’t they just let the voters decide?

Both sides of mouth comment.
Don’t ask Biden. He won’t know.
Joe needs to sniff Coon’s daughter 3 times, and then he’ll make his decision based on that.
She’s willing to go along with it, if that’s what it takes to save our democracy.
Yep. The time for Biden to step aside was two years ago. But not even democrats want Harris there. I used to say that before they get rid of Biden they have to get rid of Harris.
But they’ve painted themselves into a corner with their DEI selection.
Biden is weighing his ice cream cone to make sure Jill didn’t short him again.
Honestly I don’t get it. How could *anyone* with a brain *ever* vote for this rude vegetable?
What makes coons think that the non president can just pick someone?
The proposition that it is possible to effectively present either side of an issue would make for a good debate.
I can think of quite a few...if it were possible to raise the dead!
He probably wants Hunter to run against him.
