He always consults other people for major decisions in his life.

He has worked with other Dem leaders for decades.
Admires and respects Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton.

High probability he will talk with all of them.

Exactly. There is obviously a great deal going on behind the scenes right now. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #24

That's an argument to show their face -- not hide it. W_HAMILTON Jul 2024 #28

It's irrelevant to us - things always happen this way. It's the wrong thing for US to focus on. themaguffin Jul 2024 #29

As I say... WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2024 #22
