Several House and Senate Democrats are planning to hold meetings to discuss President Joe Biden’s future.
Top Democrats will meet this week where they’re expected to discuss the path forward for Biden and the possibility of removing the embattled 81-year-old president.
Many Democrats want to remove Biden due to his advanced age and failing health.
Following Biden’s disastrous presidential debate and last weekend’s interview with George Stephanopoulos, the mood in the Democratic Party has shifted against the president’s re-election campaign.
A growing number of Democrats are panicking that Biden won’t be able to beat President Donald Trump in the November election.
Republicans have warned for years that Biden is too infirm and elderly to serve another term in office.
Nevertheless, Democrats bought into the White House’s narrative that Biden was sharp as a tack, away from the cameras.
When Biden finally ended up in front of the cameras, it revealed just how bad things had gotten.
As a result, Trump has surged into a decisive lead in many swing states.
Democrats are running out of time and are desperate to replace Biden so all eyes are on these upcoming meetings that will happen this week.
Some Democrats are downright angry with the White House for lying to them about Biden’s health.
Up until this point, most Republicans assumed that Democrats were in on the secret about Biden’s health.
However, it seems that Democrats actually believed Biden was in perfectly good health which speaks volumes to how tightly controlled and choreographed Biden’s outings have been.
According to insider sources, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is holding virtual meetings with Democrats who serve as committee ranking members.
In the Senate, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) will be holding similar meetings this week.
However, the exact agenda isn’t known.
Even for Democrats who don’t want to go as far as removing Biden, the issue of the struggling president hurting the campaigns of down-ballot candidates is something that must be addressed.
Democrats have crucial races to win in the House and the Senate.
The possibility that discouraged Democrat voters won’t come out to vote for Biden could lead to massive losses down the line.
Democrats are obviously being very political with their treatment of this situation.
However, after the debate made it clear that the party is in crisis, the Democrats are now rallying to chart a path forward.
The bad news for Democrats is that Biden is showing no signs of wanting to step aside and appears to be deadset on staying in the race.
There are other issues to consider in replacing Biden as all the Democrat primaries have already concluded and there are legal issues involving the massive war chest that the Biden campaign has accumulated.
The Democratic Party’s situation could not be worse but they have no one to blame but themselves.
Republicans have been saying Biden is too old for years but Democrats drank the Kool-aid and now they have to find a way out of this mess.
