They vultures are circling. They want Biden gone. Many say he already decided to leave, and is just waiting for the best opportunity. President Kamala Harris is on the table, making me think of that movie Dumb and Dumber.
Following a troubling debate performance, President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from within his own party to reconsider his candidacy for re-election. Despite the concerns raised by many Democratic leaders, Biden and his team are holding firm, planning to continue his campaign with a focus on upcoming public appearances and media interviews.

Representative Lloyd Doggett of Texas, expressing a sentiment that mirrors former President Lyndon Johnson’s historic decision, has openly called for Biden to step down. This marks a significant shift within the party, as more Democratic officials voice their apprehensions about Biden’s potential re-election prospects amidst growing doubts about his performance and age.

In response to the debate and subsequent concerns, Biden is scheduled to engage with key Democratic figures, including governors and congressional leaders. This comes amid reports that several governors are hesitant to publicly express their doubts for fear of exacerbating the situation.
Privately, many in Biden’s circle, including long-time allies and donors, are contemplating the implications of his continuing the race. There’s a consensus that the debate was not just a bad night but indicative of deeper issues that could impact the Democratic Party’s performance in upcoming elections.
