The campaign for the replacement of Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket seemed to gain strong momentum this week (especially with speculation that he will give way to Kamala Harris), as high-ranking Democrats (most recently Representative Schiff, the twentieth) publicly called for the President to withdraw and others made their voices heard through back channels. However, According to the campaign, Biden will definitely remain in the race and those who seek to push it away should take a long look in the mirror.
«Can we remember for a minute that these same people who are trying to push Joe Biden out are the same people who literally handed us over to Donald Trump»a source close to Biden told NBC News. «In 2015, (Barack) Obama, (Nancy) Pelosi, (Chuck) Schumer sidelined Biden in favor of Hillary Clinton; they were wrong then and they are wrong now. Maybe we should learn some lessons from 2016: one is that polls are bullshit, just ask Secretary Clinton. And two: maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden is more in touch with real Americans than Obama-Pelosi-Schumer?”
Talking with Politica former Biden campaign and administration aide said: “People who have known this man for 30, 40 years are stabbing him in the front and in the back… They’re doing it like Julius Caesar.” For his part, Biden is said to be feeling ‘angry’ and “personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats … pulled the plug on him,” according to NBC News. And while it was reported earlier this week that the president had “become more receptive in recent days to hearing arguments about why he should abandon his reelection bid,” it appears he hasn’t changed his mind.
On Friday, at MSNBC, the campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon he declared to Morning Joe that Biden is “in the game to win” and believes “he can do it.”
