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).

    I’m not sure that’s true. He’s said that he wouldn’t step aside for someone with a better chance. He has said he would only step aside if he had no chance of winning.

    BUT there’s a good chance he is just presenting confidence. Either way they need to know the backup plan regardless.
