Biden pens letter to Congressional Dems who want him to drop re-election bid: ‘Firmly committed’

are not working. Increasing numbers of prominent Democrats are either openly calling for him to step aside or expressing uncertainty when asked if he can beat former President Donald Trump .

Moreover, Biden needs to win the national popular vote by at least 2 points to have any prayer of winning the Electoral College. Private polling that a progressive group, Open Labs, leaked showed Biden behind or tied in normally Democratic states like Minnesota, New Mexico and Virginia. Those data were entirely consistent with a national 6-point deficit, which is a 10.5-point drop from Biden’s 2020 victory margin.

The first involves orchestrating Vice President Kamala Harris’ ascent. This could be limited to Biden and party leaders collectively endorsing Harris as part of the president’s withdrawal announcement. That could push her bid over the finish line, but their support would not legally hand her the nomination. Once Biden bows out, his delegates are unbound and can back anyone they want. They probably would follow the party poobahs’ lead, but there is no guarantee of that.
