U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer and Adam Smith have also called for Biden to drop out, though not to resign. Other Oregon and Washington Democrats have been noncommittal.

Not sure if this violates rules, but this is breaking news and the primary source. Local news video.

      I wouldn’t call it Blue MAGA, and I find the term stupid. They’re operating on inertia, like I was - it’s not a cult-like worship of Biden. It’s just the belief that he was the best shot.

      But yes. I intend on arguing forcefully towards pro-Biden commenters on the need to change candidates now that Biden has lost the unity that an incumbent is supposed to give, especially one who ran in his primary without any major challengers. We’ve fucked up and now we have to unfuck this mess, fast.
