‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’
One House Democrat said he spoke for others in the wake of the president’s stunningly feeble debate performance on Thursday: “The movement to convince Biden to not run is real.”
The House member, an outspoken defender of the president, said that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should consider “a combined effort” to nudge President Joe Biden out of the race.
Crestfallen by the president’s weak voice, pallid appearance and meandering answers, numerous Democratic officials said Biden’s bet on an early debate to rebut unceasing questions about his age had not only backfired but done damage that may prove irreversible. The president had, in the first 30 minutes of the debate, fully affirmed doubts about his fitness.
A second House Democrat said “reflection is needed” from Biden about the way ahead and indicated the private text threads among lawmakers were even more dire, with some saying outright that the president needed to drop out of the race.
You're viewing a single thread.
I honestly think Bernie should run independent.
It's clear Biden has no chance of rapidly changing his policy or stance on anything, meaning he will most likely lose to Trump anyway.
Even if Bernie gets only 20% of votes, it would be enough to get the DNC to split.
And no that 20% would not have been stolen from Biden. I saw Hillary's horrendous turnout, people don't vote when there's not a candidate worth voting for.
The problem with that isn't Bernie. The problem is Trump. Bernie splitting the Dem vote is a more sure-fire way to get Trump than Biden running as it is.
