One Democrat finally mustered the courage to tell Biden it’s time to step aside. During a call with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the meeting quickly spiraled into chaos, according to NOTUS. Biden has been scrambling to shore up support as the party reels from his disastrous June 27 debate performance. With three-fourths of the country thinking Biden is too old to be effective and his approval ratings plummeting to the mid-30s, it’s clear that Donald Trump is poised to reclaim his old job.
In typical fashion, Biden refuses to acknowledge the bleak polling numbers. This denial seeps into his inner circle and campaign operations. During this chaotic call with the CHC, Biden showed up an hour late and restricted questions, reinforcing the narrative that his public events and media interactions are heavily controlled to avoid any embarrassing moments. Only two members were allowed to ask questions, but Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) broke through and directly told Biden he needed to step down, promptly leading to the call being shut down.
As President Joe Biden desperately tries to calm Democratic lawmakers’ nerves, a virtual meeting with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus only seemed to worsen the situation. Biden’s tardiness set the tone for what would become an unproductive and chaotic call.
Organizers had stipulated that only Reps. Sylvia Garcia and Lou Correa would ask questions. However, Biden, in an attempt to show some semblance of transparency, invited more questions. But Rep. Mike Levin seized the moment. His “question” was actually a bold statement: it was time for someone else to lead the party, and he called on Biden to step down.
The Biden campaign declined to comment further, adding to the mess. It’s no wonder the Democrats are in panic mode. What a fiasco.
This incident highlights the growing divide within the Democratic Party as they struggle to find a way forward. With Biden’s stubborn refusal to accept reality, the chaos within the party is likely to continue. The writing is on the wall: it’s time for Biden to step aside and let someone else take the reins. The American people are tired of the staged events, the controlled narratives, and the blatant denial of the truth. The Democratic Party needs a new leader, and fast.
