Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

    I may be 100% wrong, but this feels like a leak that’s meant to buy time.

    Pure speculation, but I could see them asking Democrats to withhold judgment on calling for him to withdraw just for a short time in order to give him a chance to change the perception.

    And stories like this are a way to signal to the rest of the party to hold their fire … for now.

        To be asked to step away after one bad debate performance is a shitty pill to swallow. Especially for a guy like Biden, whose performance in office has been outstanding IMO.

      I think he’s holding on for the Stephanopoulis interview on Friday. He’ll either announce it then or hold that up as a “See! See! Paw Paw still has it”.

      If the goal is to have the party hold their fire, I think you can see how it’s working in this thread. It makes people talk about it more, not less. Why would they want that if they don’t want to withdraw?
