Biden: 'I'm not leaving. I'm in this race to the end'

[Jrose]

On a campaign call on Wednesday, President Joe Biden said, “Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can, as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running … no one’s pushing me out,” according to Politico.

He added: “I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”

[ALBliberal]

13. I am thinking they have internal polling

That backs up his decision. I trust him. And we will win.

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. Actually the leaked internal polls are worse than the published public polls.

Daily Kos had a diary on this today.

[shrike3]

22. I only saw the one by Puck News.

[Fiendish Thingy]

30. Puck news leaked it, but they didn't do the poll. Nt

[shrike3]

31. Then what kind of poll is it? Who did it?

[Fiendish Thingy]

45. It's a Democratic internal poll

The name of the pollster is Open Labs.

[Solly Mack]

23. Never thought he would allow himself to be pushed out.

Good for him for stating it so plainly.

[SomedayKindaLove]

24. Biden ate fascism for breakfast in 2020

Gonna eat it for lunch in 2024.

[ms liberty]

25. I emailed the WH, and called Schumer's office and Jeffries office earlier today

I told Biden to fight, and told Schumer and Jeffries to support Biden, shut the whiners up, and fight. I said that I was voting for Biden and they needed to go on offense not act like a bunch of wimps.
That's the short version.

[wnylib]

47. Thank you.

[ms liberty]

51. Every DU'er needs to do it, too. Power in numbers. I'm so angry

That I'm ready to stand in front of the halls of Congress and scream.

[llmart]

49. Good for you!

I think I'll do the same. They need to know that we are behind Joe 1000%.

[electric_blue68]

78. TY! And I just called Sen Schumer's office as well per your inspiration.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

101. I commend you!!

[Deek1935]

26. BOOM! YES! FUCK YES!!

[Lemon Lyman]

27. YESSIR!!

LET’S DO THIS!

[tazkcmo]

29. Pretty weak.

I want him yelling through a megaphone with the volume at 11, from the tallest building, on stilts, shaking both fists and using some cuss words otherwise he's just reinforcing the perception that he's a drooling vegetable!



Sarcasm

[StarryNite]

34. Please don't give certain people on here any ideas.

[tavernier]

35. I wonder who

[edisdead]

54. Yes but make sure his eyes are focused in the right direction.

[StarryNite]

32. There! He said it!

So we need to join behind him with our support.

Biden/Harris 2024! Let's go!

[Paladin]

33. Outstanding news from my president.

Like a political commentator said on MSNBC this morning: Joe Biden on his very worst day, is infinitely better than Donald Trump on his very best day.

[DinahMoeHum]

36. FUCKIN' A !!!!!!!

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH !!!!!

[Nimble_Idea]

37. joe got them raving out there

[timms139]

38. Democrats always

seem to find a way to shoot themselves in the foot. If they had rallied around the president it would have been gone quick.

[StoolPigeon]

39. And you have my support.

[wnylib]

52. And mine.

Beat the crap out of the effing MAGAs, Joe.

Give 'em hell!

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

40. Wise words from Rev. Martin Luther King

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy"

[WarGamer]

41. the right tone...

GOTV.

[mcar]

43. Now will the media and squishy "anonymous sources" STFU

and maybe talk about how Trump is a pedophile?

[bsiebs]

[Traurigkeit]

46. President Biden has never been a quiter

[Pinback]

Very much appreciated. Will have my vote later this year without question.

PLEASE join me!

[Fiber Lady]

55. YES!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!!!!

[valleyrogue]

56. Biden to Trump-Lover media: Go to hell. n/t

[valleyrogue]

60. This latest nonsense on Biden was orchestrated to take minds off

the USSC decision Monday on presidential immunity. It is a distraction.

Don't buy what the Trump-lover media are trying to sell.

[Attilatheblond]

66. Absolutely! TSF is floundering and a rapist, they are trying to divert attention

DO NOT STAND FOR IT!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. We are with you always, Mr. President! Let's go vanquish some backassward villains! nt

[ZonkerHarris]

58. Now get out the vote people. Focus on winning, not whining. GOTV!

[elleng]

59. HECK YES!

I''m sending $!$

I hope the 'nay-sayers' around here (DU, that is,) re-screw on their heads (and send MORE of the $$$ they brag about sending.)

[BlueKota]

62. Good! There are only two candidates who shoud leave

the race for the White House and neither has the last name of Biden.

[cheezmaka]

63. The talk of a REAL LEADER!

It's either Biden or LOSE! Democracy MUST continue!!!

[DownriverDem]

64. Good

I emailed the White House & told Biden not to drop out.

[Wingus Dingus]

67. That's what someone is supposed to say in this situation, while things are being discussed.

We'll see.

[niyad]

99. sighhhhhh

[waterwatcher123]

68. Amen - I am glad he is unwilling to go quietly into the night!

[AllaN01Bear]

70. go it.

go joe,

[blogslug]

71. Here is the Politico article

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/03/biden-no-ones-pushing-me-out-00166497

...“Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can — as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running … no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win,” Biden said on the call.

Biden’s forcefulness and resolve, especially compared to how he came across during last week’s debate, was as reassuring to several attendees, who discussed the call afterward via text message, as what he said.

Vice President Kamala Harris, whose profile has risen in recent days as Democrats focus on her with new seriousness as a possible replacement atop the ticket, was seated beside Biden on the video call...

[Baitball Blogger]

72. We love you Biden!

Hang in there!

[Joinfortmill]

74. Good. Can they all shut the fuck up now?

[sky_masterson]

75. It's a mistake to stay in

We are all the choir preaching to ourselves. I will support and vote for Joe, but I fear he will lose in the same way I feared Hillary would and did.
Flame away at me.

[BWdem4life]

87. Ok

Flame flame flame flame flame

[MarineCombatEngineer]

89. I just sent you a PM.

IMHO, way, way too many hurt feelings here on DU.
This is getting fucking ridiculous on the alerts.

[sky_masterson]

91. As an add on to this.

I absolutely cherish Biden. He has earned and deserves a second term. He has been the Greatest President of my Lifetime!
I only fear that we are letting our love blind us. As much as we loved RBG, she stayed to long. We lost a seat because of it.
I'm just saying that we should keep our eyes open and not blinded by our respect for the man.

[Mike Nelson]

77. That sounds...

... clear, to me! He will likely say something like this for everyone, in the Friday interviewer or sooner.

[kacekwl]

79. Good enough

for me.

[SammyWinstonJack]

80. Works for me.

[JohnnyRingo]

81. I'm sure all of DU will vote for him

I know I will. He's the most union president in my lifetime. He has our support 100%

He can come out shuffling like he's on his last leg, or forget where he is, and we'll all vote for Joe. He can give a campaign speech with drool running down his chin and we'll all cheer him on to the finish line.

I'm sure the rest of the country will be just as loyal, right? After all, appearances aren't everything in an election.

If not we can spend November 6th here trying to figure out what could have possibly gone wrong.

[BigmanPigman]

82. This should not have even been a issue in the real world.

Of course we are in Bizarro World when one of the best presidents we have ever had is being treated like shit while the fucking moron is treated like a God.

I have been fed up with this shit about dropping out especially when it is coming from Dems even more than the GQP. This is a NON ISSUE! This is typical MEDIA BS!

Any Dem who even suggests that Biden should consider dropping out will automatically be on my new and improved shit-list of DINOs.

[AllyCat]

84. That's our president!

[dchill]

85. That's what he said. But what does everyone ELSE say?

Peter Baker? Andrea Mitchell? More "behind the scenes" meetings?

[peggysue2]

86. Hold The Line And Push Back

I'm in this race to the end and we're going to win!

Now we're cooking!

Biden/Harris 2024

[ffr]

88. Y'all wanted a fighter. Well...

There he is. If you want to win, stand with him. If you want TSF and his RW media cronies to end our democracy once and for all, then do as they want, crumble.

[ShazzieB]

90. I'm ridin' with Biden!

[Mr.WeRP]

92. Let's Fucking Go Joe!

[MontanaMama]

93. I'm ridin' with Biden!

Anything else is rootin’ for Putin. I refuse to do the work of the RW and the corporate media in destroying my party.

[BGRD]

94. Bidens age??

In all the hot air about Biden's debate performance, and his obvious age, Democrats should not forget that one of the greatest Democratic Presidents led the US through the depression and a World War from a wheelchair.
The key thing to constantly keep in mind is that Trump and his supporters intend to destroy democracy in the US.
While Biden wants to keep fighting maybe we should to.

[Skittles]

95. you need to post more, BGRD

[niyad]

100. What Skittles said!!!

[bagimin]

102. Welcome to DU!

[Timeflyer]

96. Yes!

[Evolve Dammit]

97. Go Joe!

[calimary]

103. God bless you, PRESIDENT Biden!

I’m with you, too!

With you ALL THE WAY, Mr. President.

[Arabela]

104. King Joe has spoken!

Now can we pleeeease get back on track and focus our collective energy on winning in November?!
