Key quotes:

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is working furiously behind the scenes to put pressure on President Biden to reconsider his place at the top of the 2024 ticket, according to a number of Democratic lawmakers familiar with her efforts.

The Speaker emerita is talking to a broad swath of House Democrats — from front-liners in tough districts to hardened veterans with institutional clout — to pump the brakes on the notion that Biden should definitively be the party’s nominee heading into November, these lawmakers said.

Pelosi has not said Biden should exit the race, but the lawmakers said she harbors deep concerns about Biden’s ability to defeat former President Trump, and she’s fighting to prevent the party from rubber-stamping Biden’s candidacy before there’s a broader discussion about the potentially damaging consequences of that decision.

    BIdens opinion is rapidly becoming irrelevant. We don’t live in a dictatorship. Biden isn’t even winning a majority of Democratic voters right now.

    Democratic voters, 60% of them, want him to step down.

      Okay but he said he is running I’m going to assume he is. Either way I’m voting the same way and see very little difference who the Dems throw up next.

      This will be like Humphries in 68.

      Remember how he won? Remember him at all? Don’t worry: Biden plays the Johnson role here, with Trump playing the Nixon.

      Binary choice. Biden, or every other option destroys the country. Good luck.
