House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) met with President Biden Thursday night to relay the sentiments of the House Democratic Caucus regarding his reelection bid, as concerns grow within the ranks about the incumbent’s ability to beat former President Trump in November.
The meeting — revealed in a letter to colleagues Friday morning — came after Jeffries spoke with a large swath of House Democrats in the two weeks since last month’s debate, which prompted concerns about Biden’s viability at the top of the presidential ticket. . The meeting took place after Biden’s high-stakes press conference that evening, a source familiar told The Hill.
Jeffries said he passed along the “full breadth” of thoughts he heard within his caucus.
That polling may change if one of them actually gets their face out there.
…Except for Clinton, or maybe Newsom. They already have a lot of name recognition, and TBH is extremely sad that everyone is polling just about as well as Clinton. Swayable people I know do not like her.
Still you are not wrong. I think Dems are in trouble either way.
So let’s have one of them get their face out there
If there is someone the Democrats want to replace Biden with, let’s hear the name, let’s hear the plan. If they are keeping it secret because they think telling the media the plan will produce a bad result in some way, I can assure them that it will produce less of a bad result than just going on evening news shows every day and wailing about what an emergency it is that Biden is old and how they’re going to lose the election now. I can pretty much promise that producing the plan will produce a better result than that will.
