Byby Biden. It's not working!

[planosteve]

President Joe Biden has spent the past three weeks desperately trying to convince Democrats that he’s still got what it takes to win reelection. He’s campaigned more vigorously than he has in years, holding rallies, sitting for televised interviews, conducting an hour-long press conference, and pleading his case directly to members of Congress in phone calls and Zoom meetings.
It’s not working.
Opposition to his candidacy is mounting as lawmakers see more and more polls showing Donald Trump ahead in swing states and tied or leading in states that Biden won comfortably in 2020. A majority of Democrats in the House and the Senate now believe that the party should nominate someone else, Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts told me—an assessment that two other Democrats offered to me separately on the condition of anonymity. Several people told me that their doubts about Biden’s viability had only deepened in the weeks since the debate. And that was before the White House announced earlier this evening that the president had tested positive for COVID-19.

David Frum: Biden’s heartbreaking press conference
Moulton is one of 21 congressional Democrats—20 in the House and one in the Senate—who have publicly called on Biden to end his campaign following his dismal debate performance last month. “I haven’t seen anything from him or the campaign thus far that suggests they’re turning this around,” Moulton told me yesterday.
