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.

Biden’s campaign at the time brushed aside widespread concerns from Democrats as ephemeral angst from “the bedwetting brigade.” Now it seems even some on his campaign see the writing on the wall, with some...

“He Will Never Recover From This”: Biden Aides Turn Against Him

Salon

President Joe Biden and his campaign, struggling to contain the fallout over his disastrous debate performance, have been nailing down Democratic support on Capitol Hill despite calls for him to step aside for a more viable nominee. But those efforts have done little to slow his tumbling poll numbers, which on Tuesday prompted the nonpartisan Cook Political Report to move three swing states — Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada — into the "Lean Republican" column.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

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.

It’s called a sector rotation, and it happens all the time as part of the natural course of a business cycle.
