Top Democrats are privately urging President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, fearing his presence at the top of the ticket could harm down-ballot candidates.
“To argue that Biden staying in is good for Dems is to argue that you have a better grasp of the electoral situation than Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries,” wrote progressive organizer Aaron Regunberg, a vocal proponent of replacing Biden at the top of the ticket.
The reported conversations between Biden and leading Democrats underscore the extent to which previously marginal calls for the incumbent to step aside have quickly spread to every level of the party, from grassroots activists to leadership to delegates to the party’s convention.
The electoral process does not need more mystification and expert gurus. Saying that they know better is dismissive and patronizing.
Of what?
People’s personal opinions that go against all the data and metrics available?
And they’re agreeing with 2/3s of Dem voters?
They sound like komissars issueing orders…
Why would this not resonate with the peasants?
At this point we don’t even pretend people chose candidate for the party, you are assigned a candidate based on your party affiliation.
