I'm worried about Nancy. Emile Jul 2024 #1

Yes. that response was darned surprising to me. gab13by13 Jul 2024 #3

Apparently she didn't see that he has already decided. Over, and over,and over again. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #4

Somebody should tell her that Biden has decided. LisaL Jul 2024 #7

Apparently she Rebl2 Jul 2024 #106

I'm not worried about her. She's been a great leader themaguffin Jul 2024 #107

Oh my, I don't know now. gab13by13 Jul 2024 #2

This is weird because he already made the decision, over, and over and over again. Did she not get the memo? Deek1935 Jul 2024 #6

Sounds like she is worried about winning the election. Probably has internal polls that are more predictive. Silent Type Jul 2024 #95

I just called her office because the chyron said she said he should step down ms liberty Jul 2024 #5

Christ, is this REALLY going to happen? BlueTsunami2018 Jul 2024 #9

They can't push him out. LisaL Jul 2024 #11

Yeah but if the party abandons support for him, he may have no choice but to abdicate. BlueTsunami2018 Jul 2024 #13

He can ignore them. LisaL Jul 2024 #14

That was after the convention Polybius Jul 2024 #18

Doesn't matter. LisaL Jul 2024 #21

It matters a little Polybius Jul 2024 #29

The same was said in 2016 RE Hillary Clinton... DiamondShark Jul 2024 #92

But there wasn't 9 Congressman saying that Hillary should drop out Polybius Jul 2024 #116

In that case, this needs to be restated. DiamondShark Jul 2024 #117

Not gonna happen. Way too many have already pledged support and strongly support him. It would be civil war in the party Deek1935 Jul 2024 #17

Sounds like the party is already having a civil war. LisaL Jul 2024 #19

Which is just what the rotten corporate media wants and is fueling. Biden has made the decision. Changing now would be Deek1935 Jul 2024 #22

Nobody wants to push him out. Goodheart Jul 2024 #103

She is acting like she doesn't realize that he has ALREADY "decided". He has said over and over that he is in the race. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #15

Maybe she doesn't. LisaL Jul 2024 #16

Yes, not the response I expected. BlueTsunami2018 Jul 2024 #25

Nancy never has, nor never will "capitulate to the fascists." Tom Rinaldo Jul 2024 #94

Ironically, Nancy is older than Biden. LisaL Jul 2024 #12

This is baffling in multiple respects: EarlG Jul 2024 #24

Yes, Trump doesn't even need to try. LisaL Jul 2024 #26

"maybe if we all stand around gently weakening Biden until he caves" shrike3 Jul 2024 #30

They are doing this now, after... DemocratInPa Jul 2024 #31

I don't think a lot of them supported Joe in the first place. shrike3 Jul 2024 #33

What is their plan if they were to get rid of him? LisaL Jul 2024 #34

Neither do I. I've even asked people on this site who seem to be on that bandwagon. shrike3 Jul 2024 #36

What's the plan if Biden loses to Trump? Kaleva Jul 2024 #37

What is the plan if they replace Biden with some new candidate and that LisaL Jul 2024 #39

I'll go on with my life as I usually do. Kaleva Jul 2024 #110

What's the plan if the replacement nominee loses to Trump? We are strongest with an INCUMBENT candidate. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #42

What fantasy candidate is going to come swooping in to beat Trump in a landslide? Not gonna happen. It will be close no Deek1935 Jul 2024 #43

That doesn't say what your plan is if Biden loses Kaleva Jul 2024 #112

Survive it as best we can. Elessar Zappa Jul 2024 #47

Let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win this election? LisaL Jul 2024 #50

Of course. Elessar Zappa Jul 2024 #59

I agree Kaleva Jul 2024 #111

But then why didn't they act before this in the primaries? wnylib Jul 2024 #44

Good question, indeed. LisaL Jul 2024 #48

I think they live their little lives in their little bubble and don't do much but react to what's in front of them. shrike3 Jul 2024 #52

I agree regarding most of them. But Pelosi? wnylib Jul 2024 #55

She's part of their world. shrike3 Jul 2024 #56

I think tomorrow's press conference could be the turning point Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #61

So, she's not throwing Joe under the bus just yet Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #54

He has made the decision. I think maybe she needs to Emile Jul 2024 #58

Until he has been nominated by the party, there are many who don't accept Biden's decision as final. Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #65

Nope, she can have an opinion. She ignored the fact that President Biden has Emile Jul 2024 #67

You're welcome to disagree with her opinion. Doesn't make it not news. brooklynite Jul 2024 #70

I'm not the one trying to make news out of thin air. Emile Jul 2024 #71

I'm not making news either. I'm reporting it. brooklynite Jul 2024 #74
