1. It is about damn time!

[newdeal2]

2. I swear

Yes, it’s this simple folks.

[live love laugh]

11. This is the second time he's said that--at least.

[Sunsky]

58. Yes indeed

The video of the 1st time he voiced his support for Pres. Biden after the debate was posted numerous times on DU.

[sheshe2]

34. Ah ha!

He is speaking in Brooklyn!!! How about that!

[ms liberty]

50. Hmmm. A special someone from that neighborhood probably did not attend

Based on things they've said on the subject.

[sheshe2]

64. Lol 😆

[FreddyWhite]

81. Go Brooklyn!!

Never been there, but I have huge respect!

[onetexan]

62. Ditto!🇺🇸

Some idiot just texted me saying reports are coming out Biden is droppong out and asked who would be my choice. I texted back "Liar" & blocked that number.
My number is on some Dems list but i don't appreciate it being used for propaganda.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

68. Don't assume that was from Dems.

I constantly get texts from entities who have no reason to have my number. It's hard to know who many texts are from.

[bigtree]

3. there it is

...on camera, as me, and I'm sure many others firmly asked of him when we phoned his office.

[hlthe2b]

4. Does anyone think that will stop the rumor-mongering jackals?

[live love laugh]

12. Nope

[louslobbs]

17. No, it will not....but then again

can you expect anything else from “ the rumor-mongering jackals?”

[peggysue2]

25. Probably not unless leadership keeps pounding the same message:

Joe Biden is our nominee.

His accomplishments, his vision, his wisdom make him the best nominee for the race ahead. Period, full stop.

That and that alone needs to be blasted into every corner of the echo-sphere until it becomes the dominant echo.

Can we assume that the voice of the base managed to get through to leadership?

I certainly hope so.

[Easterncedar]

5. I want him to lead his caucus fiercely on this!

I like Hakeem and want him to have a bigger role in general. This is the time for him to get loud for Biden.

[Stuckinthebush]

6. Good

This talk is all distraction and is not helping move forward. In the beginning I was open to the discussion - as I think is important to be. Well, Joe has said it is full speed ahead. Joe is the leader of the party. I listen to Joe and will move with him. Every path has dangers. I'll take the guy who has led us this far.

Let's get working now, Dems.

[moonscape]

7. TG x 1000

[dchill]

8. No shit, Hakeem!

[Solly Mack]

9. K&R

[Walleye]

10. Over to you, Chuck Schumer.

I was looking forward to the legislative branch being controlled by two guys from Brooklyn

[liberalmuse]

13. Now this is the leadership we've needed in Congress.

May others follow quickly.

[Prairie Gates]

14. If Biden weathers this I'm gonna laugh so hard

[dchill]

33. IF? He's not going anywhere.

[W_HAMILTON]

49. On the bright side, it means we now have a list of Democrats that put donors ahead of Democratic voters...

...and I -- and I'm guessing many others -- will not forget what they did and will remember their backstabbing come future primaries.

[BigmanPigman]

78. That is my plan

I'm angry at them and will not forgive and forget. Many people will not forget. Keep calling them (27 total DINOs remaining).

[peggysue2]

15. BOOM!

All the speculation, rumors and whispers are put to bed with those simple words by Jeffries:

Biden is our nominee

Can we all get onto winning an election now??

[Cha]

67. Boom Indeed! i got called out the other day for posting this Tweet

Because Rep Jeffries said he Supported PJB But it "it was 11 days old"!! I said I don't think he's done a one eighty!

69. I love Mr. Jeffries. 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[Cha]

72. Yes Hakeem is our

Guy and Hillary and Bill.

Who do they have?

💙🌊🇺🇸🕯️🕊️🌈😎

[sheshe2]

74. Well...

They have:
Hulk Hogan
Russell Brand
Amber Rose & Forgiato Blow…rappping. Caught a glimpse of the vid and I was 😮😆😆😆😆🤪😜😝

An all star lineup.

[Cha]

76. Russel Brand?.... They're all

Fascist Dictator loving assholes.
Don’t give a shit if someone is a rapist and a serial sexual predator. Or selling his country to Russia. They’ve Repulsive 🤢 like he is.

I actually meant who’s on the side of wanting PJB to leave his job?

😎💙🌊🇺🇸🕊️🕯️🌈

[sheshe2]

77. Misunderstood.

My bad.

[Cha]

79. No Worries I thought

It was funny.. it works both ways.

[Ninga]

16. Proud to say I called his office yesterday and actually spoke to someone, telling them very

politely that I do not want party leaders to nullify my primary vote for Pres Biden. I also said that United we stand, divided we fall, and I needed Leader Jefferies to step up and speak to the Democrats who are stating Biden needs to step down.

I was worried that when I called Jefferies and Schumers offices yesterday, a staff member actually answered the phone and said they would note my message. I expected the phones to be busy or go to voice mail. Was no one else calling?

The Jefferies staff person did say they were logging comments and would forward to him by the end of the day.

Yes!

[soldierant]

82. I don't want them to nullify my vote either -

and neither does this guy:

[Ocelot II]

18. Good job, Leader Jeffries. Now get your people in line.

Corral the cat herd and tell them that if they aren't going to publicly support the ticket as it is, at least STFU about Biden dropping out.

[MustLoveBeagles]

48. This needs to be done ASAP

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. This is great news

[Lovie777]

20. Round and round we go.......

Are the media still trashing Pres Biden wherein they should be negatively talking about shithole. The Republican Party and the media are an embarrassment and the world sees it.

[luvtheGWN]

29. Yes we do.

Here and Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and democratic countries everywhere.

[Bayard]

21. I admire him even more now

More of this please!

[Jose Garcia]

22. Well, I guess it's settled then

[boston bean]

23. Damn. This should have never been a public debate. Thank god it is over!

[calimary]

52. It BETTER BE over.

[JohnSJ]

24. Thank-you Representative Jeffries, and thank-you to the OP for posting this.

[brer cat]

26. K&R

[cilla4progress]

27. THANK YOU SIR!

Finally!

I can pause my plans to leave this country!!

Just the damn stories on the WAPO site about how strong THE SICK FUCK is coming out of their convention, and how Dem party leaders are still trying to oust Biden!

WTF is going on?!

[Sibelius Fan]

28. Yes!

[MustLoveBeagles]

30. Shout it from the rootops

[LuvLoogie]

31. Will Adam Schiff still get his donors to donor ?

I'm sending 10 a week to Joe and Kamala. Gonna have to send some to AoC and Ilhan and Jasmine. And definitely to JB when he runs again.

We need to support our Dems that were with Joe 100% out loud.

Yes! I will send $ to a billionaire. LOL

[BComplex]

43. I voted for Katie Porter in that match-up, obviously.

But from now on, voters need to start some "think tanks" where we can accumulate huge sums of money that will put the fear of Gawd into our Democratic leaders, so that we don't ever have to be manipulated into something we don't believe in again. This has been such a huge fuck up on their part!

Even though Biden knew -- KNEW -- what was going on, he literally wouldn't let them go there! He's my hero...well, he already was...but now more than ever.

All this capitulation to "leadership", with people saying "oh! something must be going on that they know about and we don't". Nope. We knew what was going on, and it was BIG MONEY trying once again to buy the Democratic party for really asshole reasons. Joe saved us.

[LuvLoogie]

44. Aye!

[StarryNite]

32. WooHoo! Thank you Rep Hakeem Jeffries!

It was a great statement by him. Lots of confidence in President Biden. Now it's time the others step up and back up our president Joe Biden!

[sheshe2]

35. Thank you Mr Jeffries.

Now let’s get this done and while we are at it…. we need to hand you that gavel as well in 2025🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[wackadoo wabbit]

36. I'd like to think that my call to his office had a tiny bit to do with this

Call Schumer and your congresscritters, folks! They need to know how we, their constituents, feel about this.

If they don't hear otherwise from us, they'll be able to convince themselves that we're all OK with them forcing Biden out.

[Emile]

57. I'm sure it did!

[BumRushDaShow]

37. Waiting for them to spin that into

"but privately he...", which is their latest bullshit-creation tactic.

[PatSeg]

41. I know, it is really getting ridiculous

I am so sick of this crap.

[BComplex]

45. That's what they've been doing 24/7. This just tells me we need Biden more than ever, if they're going

to so much trouble to get him out!

I'm ready to have we, the VOTERS, actually and FINALLY really take over the Democratic party. They have been exposed to have had NO PLAN! Which tells me that this was more a devious plot than an actual issue.

And, on edit: Jaime Harrison is another one of my heroes! He has been clear, forceful, and totally behind Joe Biden the whole way. We couldn't have a more competent and charismatic leader for the Democrats! He's just awesome!

[Naio]

38. Yess

God Bless our President .

[PatSeg]

39. Thank you Hakeem Jefferies

Hopefully sanity is returning to DC.

[mcar]

40. Good.

[Rebl2]

42. He needs to

make up his mind and stick with it. Wasn’t he just saying the other day he wasn’t quite sure about Biden?

[brakester]

46. Please contact Washington, DC

I just contacted three politicians to express my thoughts about the circular firing squad going on.

I praised Hakeem Jeffries and thanked him (202-225-5936).

I left a message with Senator Schumer telling him not to nullify our primary vote for President Biden. (202-224-6542)

And, called President Biden (202-456-1111) to thank him for being such an effective, compassionate, hard-working leader and to NOT QUIT! I got the impression Schumer and Dems in Congress were manipulating him into quitting and I don't trust their motives!

[D23MIURG23]

47. Finally some leadership from the brass. I'm glad we have Jeffries leading the house. n/t

[Warpy]

51. Voltaire was wrong about one thing

When surrounded by utter fools, a wise men is compelled to point out the obvious.

[DFab420]

53. About time. Fuck the rumor mongers

[C OH Dem]

54. Damn it!!!!

I voted for Joe in our primary and I'll be damned if I'll be changing my mind now! If Joe can't do the job then his running mate is more than capable of doing the job. Run Joe Run!!!

[SouthBayDem]

[mountain grammy]

56. Thank goodness!

I just called both my Senators, Bennet and Hickenlooper, AGAIN to remind them we support Joe Biden and we ask them to also support him. Then I sent another donation to Biden.. Looks like we'll be putting stuff off for a bit, and I say that with the thanks that I am able to contribute at all.

[Tree Lady]

65. I wrote both of mine in Oregon

Too. They need to hear from us with all the false poll info.

[pandr32]

59. Yay!

[TommieMommy]

60. Joe has my vote

🚙 riding with Biden 👍😁

[PortTack]

61. Hopefully the rest fall in-line!

[Sunsky]

63. Why is the media trying their best

To prove Trump right as being fake news and the enemy of the people? Over the past few weeks, well-trusted sources have been reporting rumors as facts. They seem to put ratings and big money over integrity. It has dissolved trust in an entity that is built on trust. The people rightfully no longer have trust in the information being reported and this is quite troubling.

[Cha]

66. Well Well Well! I said this with a Vid the other day.. But "it

was 11 days old".. lol. My contention was that it still Held.. Now I see it DID!

Rep Jeffries Didn't Do a 180

TY!

[czarjak]

70. Please proceed.

[republianmushroom]

71. So far.

[DownriverDem]

75. Am I the only

one that feels like I"m being jerked around? This should have ended before the RNC.

[JT45242]

80. Day late and a dollar short..this is CYA after his earlier disloyalty

Don't buy it Joe...after the election when Dems crush the MAGAts Jefferies needs replaced as speaker of the house with someone more fitting and loyal like AOC

[usonian]

83. Kick and Rec

Go Joe.

[mucholderthandirt]

84. Sorry.

Too little, too late (to start again anew). He's not denying the prior story that he was with the others to get Joe out. I'm not fooled, and I'm tired of being jerked around.
