A House Democrat says a heavyweight group of “super friends” is being assembled to head to the White House and tell Biden it’s time to go.
The plan would see a group of Biden’s oldest and most senior Democratic colleagues come together to make a definitive statement on behalf of the party that it would be damaging if the president were to continue. It is hoped that team would include Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, President Pro Tempore Patty Murray, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC).

Why arent they going through the DNC, who ultimately controls the nominee process and can literally disqualify Biden if they wanted to?
A hostile public denial is probably the worst possible solution, especially as it will require rules changes specifically to strip him of power. Possibly even worse than just letting Biden stay as the nominee. They want to convince him in private that he has to step down, then in public he can bow out as an elder statesman because the fight is just too important and endorse either his replacement or the process to find one.
If the situation is dire enough to warrant all this fervor, then it should be done by DNC immediately.
