This is meant as an unofficial thread for the Daily Kos Elections crowd to discuss what is going on with Biden and efforts to get him to step down from the Presidential nomination. This is because very wisely talk over who should be the nominee aka primary talk is forbidden because it tends to drown out all other talk. All I ask for in this thread is that we keep it to electoral politics (how it will affect the election) rather than policy.
12? Egads. Things continue as I predicted. Republican convention would bring bad polling leading to more Democratic panic which would bring more statements calling for Biden to drop out. But with the media focus on the Republican Convention would lose the media impact they might otherwise have had. Democrats may get more attention come next week only to have the Olympics eclipse it.
As we stand. Unsubstantiated rumors of those “close to the President” and rumors of his circle tightening and that access to him is “scarce.” The sources for both may very well be the same people. Those who don’t have access to his thought and feelings who nonetheless talk off the record to the media with their own bad guesses. But why should they have all the fun? We can make bad guesses too!
