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).

Oh, Democrats. It doesn’t seem like they made any attempt to come up with a backup plan, even though they knew very well the incumbent president would be weeks away from turning 82 years old by election time. Look, at 80 years old, the chances of a relatively rapid physical or mental decline are elevated. Even a relatively healthy 80 year old can take a rapid turn for the worse. The Democrats had four years to come up with a contingency plan, they didn’t and now they’re scrambling at the last minute.
Oh, Democrats. As they say here in the South, bless your heart.
Reminds me of the lack of plan for RBG.
Even for politicians and the like, the only way to retire is to die.
