    “I’m hearing from a lot of people who think he should get out, and I’m not getting a whole lot of ‘he should stay in,’” said one donor on the call, granted anonymity to speak candidly. “I’ve also had people tell me, ‘I’m not giving anymore.’”

    The longer it takes for Biden to realize he can’t win, the less time we have to get a replacement.

      The downballot consequences are what is really motivating the, frankly shocking, break that some big ass names in the party have shown (Schiff and Pelosi being the two biggest).

      Bidens not just shifting us into a Trump White house. He’s setting us up for a red-landslide the likes of which hasn’t happened since 1984. Schiff cares because he’s trying to get elected, and Biden is doing so poorly, that even ridiculously safe positions are coming up for grabs. Bidens doing so poorly, non-swing states are suddenly coming into play, so down ballot Democrats have good reason to panic.
