Biden Refuses to Bow Out, Quickly Gets Sidelined By New Report

Joe Biden is still in big trouble. After a terrible debate performance weeks ago, calls for him to drop out have only grown. It looked as if the Trump assassination attempt took the focus off Biden. But only days later and Democrats continue to talk about Biden stepping out of the presidential race.

We all know why. Biden is suffering from some form of cognitive decline. One respected doctor (and Democrat) suggested strongly that it was Parkinson’s disease.

Biden’s family, to the shame of the country, have refused to admit he’s sick. His wife and son are urging him to stay in the race. Most pundits believe they are doing this to protect their self-interests. Despite all the talk, Biden’s campaign has continued to keep him in the race.

From The Hill:
President Biden’s reelection campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon, insisted Friday that the incumbent is staying in the White House race amid reports he could drop out over the next few days.

“Absolutely, the president’s in this race,” O’Malley Dillon said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” when asked by co-host Mika Brzezinski if Biden is still in the race, saying Biden “is more committed than ever to beat Donald Trump.”

“We believe on this campaign, we are built for the close election we are in and we see the path forward,” she added. “He’s the best person to take on Donald Trump.“

Biden’s campaign seems to be in denial. Democrats are terrified that Trump, who just survived an assassination attempt, will be unbeatable. A tired, senile Joe Biden doesn’t stand a chance. And his loss will ensure that many other Democrats down the ticket will lose too. The campaign refuses to even consider the evidence that Biden is ill. Although, we all assume they know he is not in his right mind.

But regardless of these claims that Biden is “in this race,” signs are growing that he will be gone in a matter of days.

From The Post Millennial:
A report from Mark Halperin on X has stated that President Joe Biden has agreed to step out of the presidential race, would endorse an open convention, and will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Mark Halperin, who spoke about his assertions on Newsmax, cited unnamed sources that Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race could come as early as Sunday. This comes after intense public and private pressure on the president and continuous reports that he trails in the polls.

A new unverified report claims Biden will step down on Sunday, backing an open convention. According to the report, he will not endorse Kamala Harris, his vice president. Instead, he will leave it to the delegates to decide their candidate of choice. While this is still unconfirmed, it sounds like the most likely outcome. While some might want Harris to take over, she has low approval ratings and a bad reputation for gaffes and flubs.

Speculation that Biden will step aside continues to grow. Reports indicate that Democrats have pressured Biden in private; he refused. So now, they are going public with their pressure campaign to get him to drop out.

From Fox News:
Five more House Democrats on Friday joined the growing number of congressional lawmakers who have called on President Biden to drop out of the 2024 election…

“At this point, however, we must face the reality that widespread public concerns about your age and fitness are jeopardizing what should be a winning campaign. These perceptions may not be fair, but they have hardened in the aftermath of last month’s debate and are now unlikely to change. We believe the most responsible and patriotic thing you can do in this moment is to step aside as our nominee while continuing to lead our party from the White House.”

More Democrats are turning on Joe. It is hard to believe Biden will be able to mount a comeback. Given his sharp decline, he will only further struggle in upcoming appearances, speeches, and debates. It’s unclear how many Democrats still side with Biden. But the odds are his family can’t fend off the entire party, if they push for him to quit the race.

Key Takeaways:

  • Biden’s campaign has claimed Biden’s “in the race” despite pressure for him to back out.
  • A new rumor claims, however, that Biden will drop out on Sunday and endorse an open convention.
  • Five more House Democrats called on Joe to resign in a letter released to the public.
