6. I'm sorry that you don't like the news. I don't either, but do think

it's important we know what the heck is going on. This is news and I don't recall anything like this EVER happening.

[emulatorloo]

10. I don't believe Biden ----EVER--- said Harris can't win. So I'm skeptical of this reporting.

[Cha]

28. You call it "news"... I call it bullshit. I don't believe it.

Obviously some want to.

I see the Majority in this thread don't.

[Emile]

36. News made from thin air!

[FarPoint]

33. I'm sick to my stomach....

the facts are in and Pelosi and the power Democrats are indeed pushing this intensely...

I think we will know if this happens in a few days.... I do NOT support the change wherein Biden steps aside.... It goes against the Primary voters ...us.

Just buckle up folks.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. Was he really saying that before?

First I've heard it.

Way different from "I have the best chance" which is what I heard him say.

[OneGrassRoot]

31. He hasn't said that. n/t

[msongs]

3. fabricated BS nt

[Owl]

7. I agree

[Yorkie Mom]

8. Mind if I ask why you say that this is fabricated? The reporter is solid is he not?

11. stated as fact without a speck of truth or evidence nt

[Yorkie Mom]

15. CNN is reporting it on air.

[msongs]

19. cnn is not cited in this OP nt

[Bev54]

22. CNN is literally cited in the OP both the tweet and the source are CNN

[msongs]

26. darn you're right! its CNN who is responsible for this BS with no proof nt

[Rebl2]

24. I trust

no one at cnn

[Prairie Gates]

4. He was right the first time

There should be hell to pay for the Dem oligarchs for this. HELL. TO. PAY.

[LostOne4Ever]

5. When did Joe ever say that?

I don’t think he ever did.

[emulatorloo]

12. +++++

[Yorkie Mom]

9. This is being discussed on CNN

[sop]

16. CNN pundits have been "discussing" this since the debate. That's what they do. It's their job.

[valleyrogue]

17. Why are you watching it? n/t

[ImNotGod]

13. Now they are putting words in Joe's mouth. If Pres Biden decides that he is not able to run he will let us know

and he would if he needed to because he will always put country before himself, unlike the fascists, unlike the press.

[valleyrogue]

14. This is literally making shit up. Trashing. n/t

[ucrdem]

18. This is drip 2.0

It will continue until November. Not new news, probably not accurate old news either.

[onecaliberal]

20. Why is this straight up propaganda being posted here.

[Bev54]

21. Please just stop with these unconfirmed statements, it is getting beyond ridiculous

[PortTack]

23. Kassie hunt and cnn and you call that news?? Trashing

[deepblue]

25. It's crap.

So Biden was talking it about that Kamala couldn't win, in the past. Now he's asking if Kamala could conceivably win. Which is supposed to mean Biden is more "receptive" towards leaving the ticket. Which means that, essentially, up to now, Biden has refused to leave the ticket because he was always afraid Kamala would lose.

Does any part of that message sound real?

It's crap. The mission is to confuse and demoralize. And waste our time.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. They're just pulling this shit out of their fundillos.

[Patton French]

29. Kasie Hunt

Nuff said.

[elleng]

30. Sounds like malarkey to me.

[FloridaBlues]

32. Unless He said it on record on tv I will take this with a Hugh salt shaker

[unblock]

34. It was known from the start of this crap that Biden has been willing to discuss and look at polls

I think a week or more ago there was a story that the White House was quietly polling about how she and others would fare.

Biden is the sort of guy who asks for more data and listen even if he's going to disagree.

Doesn't mean he's shifted his position any.

[Demsrule86]

35. We will lose... Kamala can't win the rustbelt...not this late. I don't believe Biden leaves the ticket...he knows we

will lose.

[chicoescuela]

37. For Christ's sake, after the RNC get everybody out and fired up on TV

We need some god damn energy

[LookingGlassOnion]

38. I don't think Kamala can win.

I don't think she can win this year or in 2028.

So, regardless of what ends up happening this year (and here's to hoping Joe wins), we need to start talking about 2028 the day after the election.

We cannot have someone who is beholden to wealthy special interests. They will lose.

We need to talk about the platform and make sincere efforts at pushing it every day until the next election.

This platform must focus on banning corporate ownership of single family homes. Today, not in 10 years. This must include LLCs. You need to make over $200,000 to be able to afford a home without a down payment these days. That is unacceptable. That's a tiny minority of Americans who can afford to buy a home these days.

This platform must focus on increasing the buying power of wages. It IS a zero sum game, the buying power of the wealthy will have to decrease.

This platform must focus on protecting public commons for public benefit. From national parks and wildernesses to getting the public's fair share for profit off of mineral exploitation on public lands.

Anything less. We lose. A candidate that can't convincing evince this message. We lose.

It is time for big ideas of rebuilding the American dream for the majority and guaranteeing electoral democracy the only way possible: through economic democracy.

[Renew Deal]

39. I thought we saw this same message a week or two ago

Is this actually new?

[BumRushDaShow]

40. There was a Biden fundraising email in my mailbox at 8:23 pm EDT - The RUMORS and INNUENDOS need to STOP

Biden-Harris 2024

…of Elon Musk trying to buy this election for himself and his billionaire buddies.

Did you see he pledged 45 million bucks a month to help reelect Donald Trump in November? I’m not kidding.

If you agree that the direction of our country shouldn’t be dictated by folks like Elon, pitch in today. Every cent of your $500, $750, or even $1500 donation will be put straight to work to defeat Trump and J.D. Vance.
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
$500 >>

$750 >>
$1000 >>

$1250 >>
$1500 >>

Other >>

Unlike my opponent, I’m not beholden to billionaires like Elon. Or to Big Pharma. Or Big Oil. Or the NRA, for that matter. The only way that Kamala and I can win this election is with people power and grassroots supporters like you by our side. So thanks for being on this team.

P.S. On a more serious note, I did just test positive for COVID today. But don’t worry too much about me. I’m doing just fine, and I’m still as committed as ever to holding Donald Trump and his rich cronies accountable. Thanks for standing with me.
