wrote a two-page letter throwing down the gauntlet to Democrats calling for him to quit Monday, daring them to take him on in a floor fight at the party’s convention.
In a fighting statement after days of bleeding support, the president said he had “heard the concerns that people have” but brushed them aside adding that he had also heard, “rock-solid, steadfast support from so many elected Democrats in Congress and all across the country.” Throwing out a challenge to the five members of the House who have openly called for him to go, he wrote: “We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively.” He mocked his three primary opponents for their failure to defeat him–but the main message was that he has the delegates and will not give them up.
“The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party. Do we now just say this process didn’t matter? That the voters don’t have a say?” The aggressive invitation to be challenged marks a strategic pivot for Biden on a day when Congress rteturns to Capitol Hill, allowing plotters to meet in person for the first time.
