Defiant Biden vows ‘I’m the nominee’ but says wrong election year at Wisconsin rally
House Democrats were stuck in neutral Tuesday as they met to weigh the future of President Biden’s re-election bid following his disastrous performance in last month’she had no intention of stepping aside, House members gathered for an all-caucus meeting — with most in attendance content to play along and follow the leader.
During the meeting, more than two dozen members spoke up and aired their opinions, The Post was told. Rep. Stephen Lynch argued that more Democrats have warmed up to Biden: “As the president said, it’s been 10 or 11 days or so since the debate and it’s time to move on. And I think that’s where many more members are today than they were last week.”
“I made my position very clear,” Moulton told the Post when asked about his call last Thursday for Biden to follow in ““I’m concerned about him dragging the ticket down,” he said. “I don’t want to quote anybody . I don’t want to be excommunicated. I’m already off the Christmas card list.”One Democrat refused to even weigh in on questions of Biden’s mental fitness.
“We’re staying with Papa,” Manhattan and Bronx Rep. Adriano Espaillat said energetically, while Rep. Kweisi Mfume , a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, shouted “Joe Biden all the way!” before giving a big thumbs-up to reporters on his way into the meeting. During a subsequent event hosted by the Washington Post, however, progressive Rep. Ro Khanna argued that something needs to change the dynamic of the race while stopping short of calling for a re-topping of the ticket.
