We’ve heard now from the party elites who seem to be going all in with the effort to get Joe Biden out of the race.
There’s been Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who reportedly had personal conversations with him, Pelosi telling him he can’t win and Schumer allegedly saying to step aside. There have also been reports about other Democrats calling on him to step aside.
But Biden rebuffed the efforts. Supposedly, in the Pelosi report, she was going to up the pressure if he didn’t take the hint.
There were also reports Biden’s time might be making a move on the question as early as this weekend.
It looks like the pressure was just upped big time with a story concerning Barack Obama.
If you recall, where we last left Obama was him not objecting to George Clooney’s searing op-ed telling Biden to step aside. Then, when questioned about it, his team didn’t comment. That was a big clue that he didn’t necessarily disagree with what was said.
