He's not stepping down. He's not stepping down. Not sure how many times he has to say it. He's not stepping down.

We aren't stupid. Stop treating us like we are.

Ya know. Joe Biden might stay. Joe Biden might go. I'm done hearing about it MSNBC. I'm turning you all off for a while.

Dear Abby, There is a strange old man down the street who has thermonuclear weapons. What should I do?
- Signed, Worried in Washington DC.

Ya'll were fine with him like 2 weeks ago 😂

[Quahogstacker]

One of the main problems is everybody close to him knows he is too old not there not saying anything bad about him everybody will be there someday. but they told us the American people he was fine he was capable. shame on them they think we are stupid

[gabrielmcgaha]

This is so disgusting. Shame on the Democrat party.

[MajorBlessingsAlways]

Since you are reporting it here, the President's "private" conversations are not private.

[jacoblauterbach]

I don't like Biden.However, the government doesn't have the right to vote for the government.That right belongs to the people

[jamiefender]

As a Republican I really find all of this very comical with the entire Democrat party lol. They are going to turn the entire government red.

[TheMWinformer]

17 million Americans voted for him this spring, it does not seem very democratic to try and force a democratically nominated candidate out of a race he literally won four years ago!

[pedroamez]

The man has 99% of the delegates - Stop trying to push him out and ignore the will of the people!

[carmelaguanciale]

Stop already! If you guys weren’t pushing it so much it wouldn’t’t be a story. Just stop!

[nancyfrost]

What a weak minded, non supportive party. Ashamed of this party right now

[anthonypanneton]

Biden is doing what he always does, and its not good. He's dithering and procrastinating and waiting until the worst, last moment to make a decision - when it likely will be too late. And then his decision will be what is essentially a passive acceptance of the unavoidable. And Trump and the GOP just love it, because all they have to do is sit back and watch.

[em-performance]

Undemocratic lawmakers. He was pretty much the only candidate in the primary ticket and people voted for him. If you took the time to vote, this feels awful. They just want to change him now at their convenience.

[kimberlyvalpey]

Who are these people that want him out? Don't tell are President what to do.

[korkalba]

So we will be told who to vote for....very democratic...🤔

[LL-blhd]

I think he will stay in. He's too stubborn and Jill and Hunter are telling him not to quit.

[georgegutierrez]

This is about power of the party and rule, this isnt about the people. Wake up!

[anemarephelan]

This is sad and scary. Democrats need to win.
