Following what I’m calling the Long Holiday Weekend of Bad News That Would n’t Quit, Day Four is another significant one in my Biden Campaign Collapse Tracker series. The name does n’t exactly roll off the tongue, I know — like Presidentish Joe Biden trying to read aloud a Dick &, Jane book to a kindergarten class after 4 p. m.  ,

But let’s jump straight in.
Following a House Democrats conclave on Sunday,” some participants said Sunday that they thought Biden should step down,” according to the Wall Street Journal. The ancient “people familiar with the matter” told the Journal that” The members included best lawmakers on big commissions including Reps.

Biden spent the weekend fighting in Pennsylvania, which would not be a swing position for most other Democrats, and even canceled the teleprompters to prove that his head is n’t cereal because, according to the WSJ,” the leader only spoke briefly at some events in the state.”

The thing Biden got that was the” Senate Coup That Was n’t” broke Sunday night when Axios reported on it. ( That’s my headline, not theirs. ) Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va. ) is arranging for a meeting with Senate Democrats on Monday to discuss their support for President Biden’s continuation of his re-election bid, according to Stephen Neukam.
