A House Democrat says a heavyweight group of “super friends” is being assembled to head to the White House and tell Biden it’s time to go.
The plan would see a group of Biden’s oldest and most senior Democratic colleagues come together to make a definitive statement on behalf of the party that it would be damaging if the president were to continue. It is hoped that team would include Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, President Pro Tempore Patty Murray, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC).

They’re stupider than Biden is incompetent.
Come up with a better candidate and you won’t have to ask him, he’ll step aside.
Keep asking him to step down & you’re wasting time, confidence in him.
This exactly.
If we had a clear candidate, this would be easy.
I’m not sure that’s true. He’s said that he wouldn’t step aside for someone with a better chance. He has said he would only step aside if he had no chance of winning.
BUT there’s a good chance he is just presenting confidence. Either way they need to know the backup plan regardless.
Oh, Democrats. It doesn’t seem like they made any attempt to come up with a backup plan, even though they knew very well the incumbent president would be weeks away from turning 82 years old by election time. Look, at 80 years old, the chances of a relatively rapid physical or mental decline are elevated. Even a relatively healthy 80 year old can take a rapid turn for the worse. The Democrats had four years to come up with a contingency plan, they didn’t and now they’re scrambling at the last minute.
Oh, Democrats. As they say here in the South, bless your heart.
Reminds me of the lack of plan for RBG.
Even for politicians and the like, the only way to retire is to die.

They’re describing an intervention. The President is hopped up on the Presidency juice and his family needs to let him know he’s not okay.
Why arent they going through the DNC, who ultimately controls the nominee process and can literally disqualify Biden if they wanted to?
A hostile public denial is probably the worst possible solution, especially as it will require rules changes specifically to strip him of power. Possibly even worse than just letting Biden stay as the nominee. They want to convince him in private that he has to step down, then in public he can bow out as an elder statesman because the fight is just too important and endorse either his replacement or the process to find one.
If the situation is dire enough to warrant all this fervor, then it should be done by DNC immediately.
