A rare moment in history…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Less than a week after President Biden’s concerning debate performance he’s finally facing a tough reality. Americans have lost faith in his ability to carry out his duties as President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report from The New York Times<\/em> details a private discussion between the President and an anonymous source during which Biden admitted he’s considering dropping out of the race if he continues to sink in the polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the Biden family’s insistence that Joe remain in the race, calls from the mainstream media and the president’s congressional allies markedly increased early Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend \u2014 including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin \u2014 must go well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe knows if he has two more events like that, we\u2019re in a different place\u201d by the end of the weekend, said the ally, referring to Mr. Biden\u2019s halting and unfocused performance in the debate. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the article was published, Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, said it was \u201cabsolutely false.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Notably, per campaign finance laws, none of the money Biden has raised could go to his replacement unless it\u2019s Vice President Kamala Harris, as her name is also on the campaign’s war chest. Despite Harris’ apparent flaws, this advantage gives her a significant boost over potentially more viable replacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet any replacement candidate will still need to placate the far-left forces and the anti-Israel factions within the Democratic Party. These groups have grown disillusioned with the party establishment and are expected to make their voices heard come convention time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Texas Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett became the first sitting Member of Congress to publicly encourage Biden to step down. In a more damning appearance, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi switched from accusing Trump of having dementia to validating questions about Biden’s mental acuity, further fueling the debate over his capacity to lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
