WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats at the highest levels are making a critical push for President Joe Biden to rethink his election bid, with former President Barack Obama expressing concerns to allies and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi privately telling Biden the party could lose the ability to seize control of the House if he doesn’t step away from the 2024 race. Biden’s orbit, already small before his debate fumbling, has grown even smaller in recent days. Isolated as he battles a COVID infection at home in Delaware, the president is relying on a few longtime aides as he weighs whether to bow to the mounting pressure to drop out.

TheDailyBeast

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has officially put his foot down against Biden’s naysayers in a New York Times op-ed published Saturday. Sanders said he has had “enough” of his party’s public infighting over Biden’s viability, and that “too many Democrats have joined that circular firing squad.” Sanders urged his fellow Democrats to “learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite profound political differences, came together this week to soundly defeat right-wing extremism.” Sanders writes that there are a number of areas in which he disagrees with President Biden, including the handling of the Israel-Gaza war and health care. But despite their disagreements, Sanders writes, Biden “has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump.” And, yes, Sanders wrote, “Mr. Biden is old, is prone to gaffes, walks stiffly and had a disastrous debate with Mr. Trump.” Yet, he added, “A presidential election is not an entertainment contest. It does not begin or end with a 90-minute debate.”Read it at New York TimesRead more at The Daily Beast.
