          No, I want to know what your implication is. This sounds a lot like “fake news!” for a thing that is quite obviously newsworthy.

      They may be starting to understand that the only way to unfuck the country is to get the Presidency, House and Senate all at once, nuke the Fillibuster, and do all the things. So they’ll not only need Harris to win, but help carry the last few seats needed for both houses.

        Good luck with that! They will keep doing what they’ve been doing all along, with the same results.

    biden won by almost 8 million(?) votes lst time. is that not overwhelming enough? just because most of the votes were concentrated in heavily democratic states will not change the fact that it’s still going to be and always was going to be a battle in swing states, and there is not a ronald reagan 49 state win candidate out there.

    how about you future senator schiff not contribute to the biden must step down media ushed bullshit story and do what the rest of the base of the party is doing and back your candidate?

      The democrat party uniting behind Biden will solve nothing. The fundamental issue is not a disunited party turning off voters , the issue is Bidens health.

      To win the election the democrats need to convince the swing voters and undecided middle ground.

      Bidens health issue aren’t going to go away. In fact they can only get worse - people don’t bounce back from age related decline.

      Trump lied repeatedly during the debate, yet no one has taken him to task over it because all anyone can talk about is Biden’s health.

      Biden won’t just lose the presidency, but will also impact all the down ticket candidates for the senate and house. The real risk here is handing Trump the Whitehouse and congress if nothing is done.

      Please stop defending the madness. He needs to be replaced before its too late, for the greater good of the USA and the rest of the world. He was a good president but he is not the candidate for this election. Don’t hand Trump the presidency by allowing such a vulnerable candidate to run.

        Why is his health such an issue if his supposed replacement is already the replacement in case his health detoriates, as she’s Vice President?

          Running the country isn’t the problem, effectively campaigning is. After that debate every time Biden has a senior moment, that’s going to be the story. Gut-based voters will see him as weak. People managing their own elderly relatives will think about how fast they declined. Not to mention their new practices to keep him fresh preclude a heavy campaign schedule he needs to do in order to catch up.

          The issue is that a large portion of the undecided voters, who we need to win over, are stupid. Regardless of how much or little sense something makes, it needs to be electorally sound.

    Win what “overwhelmingly”? There’s nothing more to win between now and election day. Well… the 2nd debate maybe.

    Biden loses the election, he’s done. Win or lose, odds are pretty good he’s not making it to '28 regardless.
