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

I get what you’re saying, but I will continue to hold that he’s cooked.
Inshallah 🙏
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.
Nah, they push him out and get to handpick his successor /avoid a primary. It’s elegant and it’s joever.
