No exact number was immediately confirmed, but the network reported that “dozens” of legislators are expected to come out against the president. Two sources told CBS that the planning is coordinated, with some of the statements pre-written. One insider added that the weekend could be “brutal” for Biden, and that it could be impossible for him to continue as the party’s presumptive nominee as early as next week.

    They have two debates.

    Debates are politically irrelevant media circuses.

    As for campaigning, Biden campaigned fine and if you watch his interviews or campaign speeches before or after the debate, he’s fine.

    He answers questions, he moves around fine, everything looks normal.

    Biden remaining on the ticket maximizes the chances of the Democrats winning.

    Condemning him because he didn’t look good for two 5-second segments and a 90-minute debate over 4 years of performance?

    That’s what’s damaging his candidacy, not his performance.

    Squabbling politicians deciding that the right time to accuse Biden of being too old to administrate the office of the president despite the contrary evidence?

    Damaging to the campaign.

    It’s absurd to imagine that showing indecision and weakness within and among the Democratic party is good for the Democratic party, especially at this point.

    “…regardless of whether or not it’s true…”

    No, let’s hold the truth in a higher regard.

    Anybody who has lost confidence in Biden is not paying attention to Biden, what his presidency has achieved or what his campaign is about.
