Biden faces growing pressure to quit race as Democrats question fitness

[Al Jazeera] On Tuesday, Lloyd Doggett, a House Representative from Texas, became the first member of his party to publicly call on Biden to quit the race.

“I represent the heart of a congressional district once represented by Lyndon Johnson. Under very different circumstances, he made the painful decision to withdraw,” Doggett said in his statement.

“President Biden should do the same.”

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a House Representative for Washington state, stopped short of calling on Biden to withdraw, but said she believed Thursday’s debate performance would cost him the election in November.

“We all saw what we saw, you can’t undo that, and the truth, I think, is that Biden is going to lose to Trump. I know that’s difficult, but I think the damage has been done by that debate,” Perez said in an interview with the KATU news channel in Portland, Oregon.

Jared Golden, a House Representative in Maine, also said that he believed that Trump would win and he was “OK with that”.

“Lots of Democrats are panicking about whether President Joe Biden should step down as the party’s nominee,” Golden said in an opinion piece published in The Bangor Daily News.

“Biden’s poor performance in the debate was not a surprise.”

3 Its one of those subtle things about that showing which seems tough to hit.

The media, and Brandon's handlers, have been building up this narrative that people of Joe's age need a bit more care, a bit slower tempo, he's an old man for crissakes!

And then there is Trump, same age slice, in such a stark contrast in energy and alertness (whatever you thought of his showing), that narrative was critically demolished.

Also hilarious is CNN being thrown under the bus to bail water for the crypt keeper look. They eat their own, kids! They eat their own! Not even CNN is above it.

“Biden’s poor performance in the debate was not a surprise.”

Oh I think it was, that it would be so poor even with the low expectations. What it has shown, is they don't give a fig about lying to you, they don't give a fig about Joe Biden, holder of the office of The President of the United States, at all, so you damn well better be sure they don't give a fig about you.

8 They will need to come down hard on somebody to stop the leaks, but that person can just quit and give interviews. I don’t see how they can control the story of Joe’s condition because it’s reality. Joe can’t prove that he is not senile to the American people because he is senile.
