The Issue: Pressure for President Biden to leave the race after his debate performance last Thursday.
For the Democrats, the soul-searching is already underway (“Exasperated Dems: Time to go, Joe,” June 28).
While some made politically necessary statements about Biden’s ability to recover from Thursday night’s debacle, they should be concerned about not only losing the White House, but also scores of other down-ballot congressional, state and local races across the country.
They have very little time, as they have only eight weeks until their nominating convention to determine whether Biden has a realistic chance of winning in November. And, if not, who are their options: Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Joe Manchin or Gov. Gavin Newsom?
