In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden’s campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.
“Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” the Medium letter read.
“It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump,” the campaigners continued. “The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters’ stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire.”
biden bowing out after a trump conviction is probably the only thing that’s more dangerous than biden not bowing out.
The trials don’t begin until late spring, early summer at the earliest, so him bowing out after a conviction is going to be an insanely short window for whoever takes up the canidacy (and is after primaries,) He needs to be bowing out now to let the primary process actually happen.
Anything else means running the risk of trump winning.
Oh, the primaries aren’t going to happen. Any replacement, on either side, will have to be at the conventions in July and August.
which will probably be before trump’s conviction(s).
I’m okay with trump leaving the next guy with a shit show, but Biden is supposed to be the “rational adult in the room”.
