Secluded in Rehoboth, Biden Stews at Allies’ Pressure to Drop Out of the Race
The New York Times | Yahoo ^ | July 20, 2024 | By Peter Baker (D-NYT)

WASHINGTON — Sick with COVID and abandoned by allies, President Joe Biden has been fuming at his Delaware beach house, increasingly resentful about what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to drive him out of the race and bitter toward some of those he once considered close, including his onetime running mate Barack Obama.

Biden has been around politics long enough to assume that the leaks appearing in the media in recent days are being coordinated to raise the pressure on him to step aside, according to people close to him. He considers Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker, the main instigator but is irritated at Obama as well, seeing him as a puppet master behind the scenes.

The friction between the sitting president and leaders of his own party so close to an election is unlike anything seen in Washington in generations — especially because the Democrats now working to ease him out were some of the allies most critical to his success over the last dozen years. It was Obama who elevated Biden from a presidential also-ran to the vice presidency, setting him up to win the White House in 2020, and it was Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, who pushed through Biden’s landmark legislative achievements.

But several people close to Biden, who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal matters, described an under-the-weather president coughing and hacking more than 100 miles from the corridors of power as his presidency meets its most perilous moment.

I am sure Joe has a dollar amount if accepted by DOCTOR Jill that they can depart the scene.

Got roll the dice, Joe. The power, the glory, the “legacy,” that all you and Jill care about. No matter how the media spins it today, your decline is what you’ll be in the history books for. Don’t give up! Run, Joe, run! Errrr. Shuffle, Joe, shuffle!

“Biden has been fuming at his Delaware beach house, increasingly resentful about what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to drive him out”

I wonder if JOE Biden has the mental acuity to realize this is even going on. JILL Biden might be fuming and resentful, but Joe could be totally clueless.

Joe has always been a legend in his own mind. Top of his class, higher IQ. In his deluded world he is the only one that can defeat Trump, lets hope his delusions continue....

But not yet, if we can wait until the 8th, we might see him drag a few senators down with him.

He’s not stewing.

Decision was made immediately following debate.

He’s sleeping.
