- Currently three elected Dems either say Biden should drop out or will lose
- The 25 House Democrats say they will call on Biden to get out if he ‘looks shaky’
- Biden insiders continue to insist the president is not getting out of the race
At least 25 Democrat members of Congress are set to call on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race in the coming days.
Biden insiders continue to insist that the president, 81, will carry on against Donald Trump despite his disastrous first debate just five days go.
However, his support appears to be crumbling among fellow Dems, as Maine‘s Jared Golden, Lloyd Doggett of Texas and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Alaska all either told Biden to drop out or said they believed he would lose to Trump on Tuesday.
In addition, the Senate appears to have defectors, as West Virginia moderate Joe Manchin had to be convinced by Washington insiders not to publicly abandon the president and left-wing Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin is refusing to campaign with Biden in her swing state Friday.
Now, it appears ‘the dam is broken’, as a House Democratic aide has said that no less than 25 Democratic members of the House of Representatives preparing to call for Biden to step aside if he seems shaky in coming days.
