At first, there may not seem to be a pattern in who is calling on Biden to step down and who's supporting him. But a closer look reveals there are some similarities.
This seems like a pretty obvious hierarchy of needs situation. Swingier reps are worried about losing their job entirely, while safer reps are worried about their status and influence in the caucus if they rebel.
Also, I’ve seen it at least hypothesized that there’s a lot of calculus going on with whether a public statement would actually influence Biden in their preferred direction. If the Squad came out en masse to advocate for Biden stepping down would that make him more or less likely to do so? Seems like it would have at best limited impact and very well could backfire.
