Rapidcreek@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Pelosi told Biden: You’re dragging down Democrats12·10 months agoAs the party’s elder statesman, it is Obama’s job to say what he thinks about party issues. But, his silence is a form of communication. It says that he basically agrees with what is happening to his old buddy Joe. Obama could have ended this a week ago by coming out 4 Square for Joe while urging party unity. He did not.
Rapidcreek@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Pelosi told Biden: You’re dragging down Democrats85·10 months agoDon’t take sides. Look at the facts.
Biden is facing triple whammy - (1) poll numbers are not good, especially more than 60% Democrats wanting him to step aside, and Biden under performing D-senators/senate candidates in battleground states, (2) big donors withholding money, and (3) media frenzy.
Biden can survive one or two of these whammies but not all three simultaneously.
He’ll eventually step aside. It’s not Pelosi’s fault. In fact, if it’s anybody it’s Obama, who remains silent.

Rapidcreek@lemmy.worldOPto politics @lemmy.world•Live Updates: Senator Menendez Found Guilty in Federal Corruption Trial17·10 months agoMenendez will either resign or be ousted by the Senate. Either way, the Democratic Governor will appoint a successor; perhaps the current Democratic nominee for the position, Rep. Andy Kim
appointing Kim would create a House vacancy that wouldn’t be filled before the election. Not sure the math of that in the House matters between now and then, but it would be at least a consideration
