“I Don’t Belong To An Organized Political Party”

Dems disparage Biden as 'donkey in the room' during messaging meeting: reporthttps://t.co/LtZm2340gY

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), who became the first sitting member of Congress to call for Biden to throw in the towel and let someone else run in his stead, confirmed that there "were a lot of people not very happy." 

While Doggett was first, he isn't expected to be the lone voice pleading for a change of the ticket, especially if the campaign and the White House can't "start to show that they get it." 

Already, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) published an editorial accepting that "Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that." 

The outlet has learned that one Democratic lawmaker suggested Biden "step aside outright" and that while there is still support for Biden, there needs to be "at a minimum" a "decisive change in course by replacing his top campaign advisers." 

Meanwhile, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) pledged his support for Biden and confirmed that the party wouldn't be "holding people back" from expressing their public views — even if they are unflattering to Biden in public.

See? (never gonna happen. Dems go through this quadrennially, given the whisper of a chance. “Sources” are the worst about it.)
