The fallout from Joe Biden’s terrible debate performance Thursday night continues. And while the Biden campaign insists that Biden has no intention of dropping out, insiders reveal that there is indeed an effort to convince Biden to drop out.
A House Democrat, speaking for others after Biden’s weak debate performance, told Politico, „The movement to convince Biden to not run is real.“ This Democrat is described as a staunch Biden defender, and he or she told the outlet that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer need to consider a joint effort to nudge 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.
