Basically, it's a game of chicken where Biden has the advantage because everyone knows that if they put public pressure on him and he still refuses to go it will make things even worse.Quote:

It was Dean Phillips who ran against Biden, not Doug Jones.
I saw the interview of Historian Heather Cox Richardson that she did with Christian Amanpour that you posted earlier,it was very informative and she made alot of good points. Donald Trump and the people at Project 2025 vision fthe United States is very dark and downright terrifying. Agree: that often in politics power is lost by the people who have it due to their own failures,that is the why the Democrats need to do everything they can over the next four months to things around. And also agree the news media has enabled Donald Trump to bluff his way through despicable crimes and contempt for the US Political System,and US Supreme Court has also helped him by giving him absolutely immunity to do whatever he wants. And the United States and Democracy is in peril,from the damage Donald Trump can cause that will cost a generation of Americans the fundamental freedoms that were taken for granted.Quote:

People who believe in God might want to explain the creation of Volcanoes, Donald Trump and Malaria. On that basis, I don't think God's judgment is valid.
Looks like this issue is, at it were, dead and buried, unless....
The good reasons for Harris, without explaining how. One does point out that were Biden to drop out and Newsom win the Convention Harris would have to re-register as a resident of Washington DC.
Nothing wrong with the arguments, it is the process that is at fault -or as said before, Biden wins but doesn't stay the course and Harris becomes President when he can no longer do the job.
Would Trump agree to a public 'debate' with Harris? Should she tempt him into one?

Prominent Democrats calling for President Joe Biden to step aside,are getting louder everyday. And his performance in the sitdown with ABC News really didn't do anything to squash those calls. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/06/lis...-2024-campaign
And another one -in the last week I have seen more positive articles on Kamala Harris than I have seen in four years. Some feeding going on, methinks (setting aside the relentlessly negative articles on Harris and Biden in the Telegraph).

It will be interesting too see over the next two weeks,how many more Democrats from Congress and the Senate will be calling for their leader President Joe Biden to step aside,and let someone else run at the top of the ticket. And how many will be standing with and telling him to stay in the race,and will it cause a rift in the Democratic Party?.And both sides eventually settling their differences and coming together and support their nominee,and helping him defeat Donald Trump and his enablers in November.
The media will not stop piling on until Biden leaves the race.
Meanwhile, they have no qualms about Trump being the Republican candidate.
