House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) met with President Biden Thursday night to relay the sentiments of the House Democratic Caucus regarding his reelection bid, as concerns grow within the ranks about the incumbent’s ability to beat former President Trump in November.
The meeting — revealed in a letter to colleagues Friday morning — came after Jeffries spoke with a large swath of House Democrats in the two weeks since last month’s debate, which prompted concerns about Biden’s viability at the top of the presidential ticket. . The meeting took place after Biden’s high-stakes press conference that evening, a source familiar told The Hill.
Jeffries said he passed along the “full breadth” of thoughts he heard within his caucus.
Pick the old man or pick the old man who is a Nazi. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me.
Trump is 78, he's fucking old too.
Happy to pick the old man if he is the nominee, but we’re not there yet. There is still a lot of time to have someone that can actually beat the Nazi.
Biden could die and I'd still vote for him, or whoever the non-fascist nominee was.
I would literally vote for a piece of fly encrusted dog shit than a fucking fascist.
To be fair, the Nazi is also an old man
A diaper wearing old man.
No offense to the incontinent, I'm just going to have to insist that fascist "strongmen" at least be not quite that obviously fraudulent. It's embarrassing.
Pick the old man as nominee, and you'll get the Nazis in January.
Or literally any other Democrat.
The choice is not, nor has it ever been, binary.
It's always been binary, thats how FPTP works.
Got a present for you
I’m not saying Biden’s oldness is not a problem. I think most people with eyes can see that it is. I’m saying that the idea that the voters are panicking and abandoning him is 1,000% media created, because they remember what the alternative is, and also that strategizing what the best path forward now for the Democrats is, and then executing the best strategy (whether it winds up being Biden or not) is a much better use of time than freaking out in general and attacking Biden relentlessly while offering only vague untruths (with no particular strategy) for what the party should do instead of him.
(Unless you want Trump to win, in which case it’s an excellent use of time)
