People Close to Biden Say He Appears to Accept He May Have to Leave the Race

One person familiar with President Biden’s thinking cautioned that he had not yet made up his mind to leave the race, after three weeks of insisting that almost nothing would drive him out.

    I don’t think they can let him drop out now.

    They’re stuck with Biden now because it would empower the rank-and-file to replace him. If he drops out it’ll prove that pressure from the voter base matters and that we can influence the Party. That’s poison to Democrats, they can’t have us questioning them!

      It’s all about the donors I think, all the initial articles wouldn’t shut up about the donors

        Yes, but why are the donors so concerned? imo it’s because they see how voters are reacting and, in turn, reacting to them.

        Donors don’t care if Biden is old. They don’t care if he dies after he’s elected. They just care if he can win.

      I think the real reason he could stay in is that nobody wants to run against a guy who survived an assassination. Everybody believes it means he has to win for some reason

      Its not like there’s a downside to being a permanent minority party. Letting us unwashed masses think we’ve got a say in what the Democratic party does every now and then shouldn’t be a problem.

    It’s not like anyone is actually voting for him. No one is Biden or bust. People are just voting against Trump, same as last time. Nothing is actually gained by keeping the 81 year dementia patient on the ballot.

      it’s “over” but you replace the “o” with “Joe” (which sounds like “Jo”, so the o is actually still there, but only in the quantity of one)l

    tbh, I hope he stays in. Biden is the true physically embodied face of the Democratic party. Don’t let them don a new mask, let the people see the monsters for what they are.

      Idk. But if there’s anything I’ve learned when trying to predict Democrats, it’s that we should never underestimate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

        That’s fair, though is it even the jaws of victory here? I’d love to say I trust the general public to do the right thing and not vote Trump back in. I just… don’t trust them to do that at all

        Edit: what I mean is either way I think we’re all screwed

          Honestly, I think any halfway decent Democrat candidate will win against Trump. Yes, including Harris. I feel like Newsom or Whitmer would have better chances though.
