Biden is the only one weighing whether to drop out.

Big Donors and influential Dems concluded he needed to drop out from the first 5 minutes of that debate. He was toast from that moment, people, even if he didn't know it.

The problem is that he needs to be persuaded, otherwise he's so stubborn that he'll dig in his heels and it will become very unpleasant for everyone.

His family is not helping either, unfortunately. They too, need to be treated with kid gloves. As well as his very insular group of closest aides, who have been propping him up for years, and who stand to benefit most from a second term.

Biden WILL have to step aside at some point. Someone has to get through to his family, and his aides, that: we can do this the hard way, or we can do this the easy way.

But it will get done.[/quote]

It sounds like big donors are putting the screws on. Pains me to be happy that they have a better chance of getting through than the voters but here we are.

There will also be a lot of hand wringing over Democratic Party eating its own but I’m hoping the situation is dire enough and time is short enough that it will be an exciting transition. [/quote]

Part of the problem is that polls are lagging indicators, so by the time the polling gap widens, it will be too late. This is why it's tricky, because obviously Biden aides are going to point to their internal (way too positive) polling and pretend they can still win.

This is why with such a short window to switch, yes, Big Donors, former Speakers, Presidents, former aides, and elected reps, are invaluable and act as proxies for the American public.[/quote]

Biden can’t in his heart of hearts believe that he did well at his July 4 events today. He doesn’t need polls or aides to tell him that. [/quote]
