As some of his fellow Democrats have encouraged Biden to exit the campaign, the president has pointed to support from other elected officials in the party, particularly governors.
Green, who was a physician on Hawaii’s Big Island before he was elected governor, said everyone has parents or grandparents who have moments that aren’t that great or pauses in their ability to express themselves clearly.
Green said the timeline of a few days for a decision anticipates pressure that might be placed on Biden after members of Congress return this week to Capitol Hill.
Harris “is a powerful person, she is also a thought-leading woman, she’s an African American who was (California’s) attorney general,” Green said.
Green, whose wife’s uncle was Biden’s college roommate, also provided insight into last week’s meeting that governors had with the president.
He also discounted any assertion that advisers crafted the meeting to have governors supportive of Biden speak first to quell any dissent.
The original article contains 683 words, the summary contains 158 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Biden ain't stepping down before the race, and he damn sure ain't stepping down after he loses the election! Dark Brandon ✴️✴️ then he will eat the supreme court!
He's already decided. He even said it out loud. He's not stepping down. Everyone of these articles posted is intended to further damage his imagine and persuade people not to vote for him. Everyone that posts them is a Trump loving American hating wannabee fascist.
If Biden "isn't sure" then he can participate in whatever primary we can slap together and show voters what he's made of while we evaluate other options.
We could have just done that for a legit primary months ago. But as soon as they stole NH' s delegates I knew it was going to be a shit show.
I just wish more people listened back then.
We should have had people on the street as soon as they pulled that undemocratic shit.
Green, whose wife’s uncle was Biden’s college roommate, also provided insight into last week’s meeting that governors had with the president. During the meeting, Green asked Biden about his health. Biden responded by saying everything was fine except for his brain.
Green told the AP that the president was joking, and that context was lost when leaked by other people.
“It was absolutely a joke, and in order to make a self-deprecating joke, you have to have intact cognitive function, period,” Green said.
Biden is trying to just "laugh off" valid concerns, that's not a good strategy.
And this governor is giving a different story then Biden's "all the govenors support me, they all said to stay in":
He also discounted any assertion that advisers crafted the meeting to have governors supportive of Biden speak first to quell any dissent. Instead, he said it was a very candid, unscripted conversation with 25 governors with differing opinions.
“That call had just like you’d expect in a coffee shop, a few people mouthed off, a few people, you know, probably excessively praised the president, but almost everybody was just trying to see, ‘Are we OK?’” Green said.
It should be concerning that Biden is presenting this wrong intentionally to help his campaign, but it's much worse if he's just completely ignoring criticism and walked out thinking everyone supported him 100% and had no concerns.
As much as it shouldn't matter and makes them nothing...
It probably matters. It's still an "old boys club" especially for Biden. Up until a year or two ago he wouldn't shut up about how much he misses hanging out with republicans. Like his old buddy and infamous racist Strom Thurmond or Mitch McTurtle.
