Fresh on the heels of the story regarding Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) recent visit to Delaware to confab with President Joe Biden (presumably to encourage him to bow out of the 2024 presidential race) comes news of the most prominent Democrat to formally call for Biden to exit stage left: Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has now formally called for Biden to drop out of the race.
This follows Schiff’s prediction that the Democrats would lose if Biden remained atop the ticket, and possibly lose the House and Senate as well.
Note that all Schiff cares about is whether Biden can beat Trump, and also how a continuing Biden candidacy will affect other races in November. He (like mot Democrats) ignores the fact that if Biden shouldn’t run in 2024 he also shouldn’t be president now, because the issue is not solely winning or losing but mental and emotional competence.
Meanwhile, Biden had some sort of angry meltdown during a phone call with Democrats, and the contents were leaked – which means a Democrat who wants Biden to get out of the race was almost certainly the leaker:
In a leaked Zoom call with moderate House Democrats on Sunday, President Joesph Biden once again used his dead son, Beau Biden, this time, to insult and denigrate the military and combat service of Colorado Congressman Jason Crow (D). Biden was unhinged as he told Crow to “tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son!” President Biden was attempting to convey the message that he was fit and able to continue on with his campaign and snapped at Crow when he politely expressed his concerns to the president.
Instead of addressing Crow’s and other moderate Democrats’ concerns, Biden snapped at Crow and went on a full-blown assault, which ended with an attack on his Army and combat service and comparing it with his son Beau’s service. Biden specifically ridiculed Crow’s Bronze Star in a pathetic and out-of-bounds attack, which the campaign did not deny or dispute.
I think they’re afraid Biden will embarrass them further, after he is locked in as the nominee.
… [I]n a new interview with BET, the president directly stated that he would drop out if medical professionals advised him to.
The 81-year-old president made the remark in a BET interview taped Tuesday when asked what it would take to prompt him to reconsider his candidacy.
“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden said in an excerpt released Wednesday.
Biden must be polling significantly worse than Kamala these days.
