It looks like some pushback has started.

On Chris Hayes Jamie Raskin sounded positive about Biden staying, and Veronica Escobar of the CHC is unequivocally saying they've asked Biden to stay in. If you've send texts to the White House and your Democratic House member or senator, this is a sign it's working.

Keep it up.

Write a letter asking Biden to step aside? Was he asked about that? I can't tell factual reports from fictitious nowadays.

I basically told him that President Joe Biden is the best chance we have to win in November. And that I was disappointed with him for not standing by our outstanding president.

He said he was not asking Biden to step down, that it’s his choice and he won’t push for or against him.

He seemed positive that this discussion is nearing the end and that the party will be united after.

I do believe that when this resolved, the Party will reunite. We all know that the
threat from outside is greater than anything we have faced.

But we “pull the lever in the booth”. One donor shouldn’t cancel us because they have money!!
