Found via Reddit (Original link — from WaPo — shared by the WP official Reddit account (shared here, in r/Virginia — Reddit Link, which shared the following blurb:
“Warner is telling Democratic Senators that Biden can no longer remain in the election...”
Spokesperson would “neither confirm nor deny”
This is absolutely ludicrous, and of course, this is a hell of a “Friday Night News Dump”, over the July 4th Holiday Weekend, no less!!
Biden wasn’t the guy I’d hoped would be the standard-bearer in 2020, but he’s the guy we have.
Nobody — not any pundit, commentator, or Senator, has explained to me how this wouldn’t be an abject showing of weakness instead of strength, should this even happen.
If you’re a Virginia Constituent (as I am) I urge you to call his office and make your piece known. I personally would threaten a primary over this, because 1) it would get his attention and 2) if we really lose the election because of a stunt like this, then to hell with him.
DC Office — 202-224-2023
I don’t know if anything would come of it today since it’s a holiday, but as a voter of his — both for Governor, and Senator — this pisses me off, a lot.
I’d also urge those with other Dem Senators (not named that I can see, anyway) to contact them, too.
We’re either going to survive with Biden, or we’ll be hanged separately during the Trump Reich if he loses.
