The set of Democrats who think he should reconsider his decision to stay in the race has grown to include aides, operatives and officials tasked with guiding his campaign to victory.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Biden on whether he stays in, and the president has been insistent this week that he’s not going anywhere. But these sources say that Biden is done — whether he drops out before November or loses to Trump on Election Day.
It’s not Biden’s decision.
The DNC is a private organization with a nonbinding primary.
They could put Steamboat Willy on the ballot if they wanted to
Apparently he hasn’t had a full cabinet meeting since October 2023. Wouldn’t surprise me if his chief of staff is shielding him from the cabinet specifically over fears of them realizing just how compromised Biden is mentally.
Jesus. That’s even more insidious. More selfish. “We can’t let the people with the power to do something know they should probably do something.”
Great plan. Because they’re just opening up the country to bear the burden instead of his cabinet—whose fucking job it is to take care of this shit.
Jesus Christ that pisses me off
I’ve been saying that we know it’s a huge gamble to have another candidate at this point. But that gamble is worth it if they’re seeing that running him is a guaranteed loss. What the fuck
It’s just the people who can do it, are ones Biden put in power, so they don’t want to.
Just like how we found out lots of shit needed changed after trump was president, there’s lots of shit we need to change after Biden too.
We can’t just keep pretending another president will always do the right thing. We need an exit strategy for presidents like we’ve had the last two terms that routinely out themselves over the country
Not to mention, it’d be supremely out of character for him, not to mention the people around him, for that to ever happen.
Trump? Yeah, he’d do that in a heartbeat. But if Biden were forced out, I don’t see anything like that happening. I’m no great fan of the guy, but he’s not that detached from reality.

His cabinet could also use the 25th ammendment and it pretty much kills his candidacy as well.

You mean Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, former management consultant for Bain Capital?
I didn’t need to know that. The rot goes deep.

If that’s not hyperbole, maybe take a break from this clusterfuck and have some fun. It’s not gonna get better anytime soon. Have a great weekend.
Yep. There’s lots of options.

But practically, he could split the party.
Trump basically made the same threat back when he was an “undesired” candidate. They couldn’t get rid of him, because he’d just trash the party.
Bruh who the fuck would vote for Joe Biden if he wasn’t the Dem nominee?
trump? Yeah, that threat has teeth, republicans are stuck with him
But Biden? He doesn’t really have supporters, he has people who want to stop trump.

Biden/RFK 2024. That’s a scary thought.
