Very possibly leaked to put pressure on Biden and ease up pressure from other congressman to join with their opposition to him running.

Because your conservative funded news outlets have a very overt goal here.

Controlled leaks from Pelosi's team would be my guess. Clearly she didn't want the conversation to stay private.

Edit: Nevermind the other commenter already said this.

Because it is a media attack

There's a massive difference between a leak, even an intentional one, and coming out and holding a press conference telling Biden to step down.

Yeah but you are supposed to feel like you are on the inside reading it tho

Some propganadist was feeling smart writing the headline too!

Exactly.

Bullshit, we never had genuine primaries.

There weren’t any real primaries. I literally one had one choice on my ballot

Then Trump wins if Biden stays.

I think you may be mistaken if you're implying that the DNC is the entity that is trying to get Biden to step aside.

The DNC is currently engaged in an all-out effort to lock Biden in by getting delegates to commit before convention. Those who are trying to get him to step aside, on the other hand, are a bunch of Democratic congressional representatives, donors, and other party figures -- not the national party committee itself.

Edit -- just since yesterday, apparently the DNC has dropped its plan to hold the "roll call" by which they were going to get their delegates committed before August. A group of Democratic senators who had written and co-signed a letter in protest of that activity have withdrawn the letter, saying their purpose is achieved (i.e., saying the DNC isn't going ahead with the bullshit). But now maybe all bets are off since the president has contracted COVID?

The primaries happened l. It's over. He's who we're stuck with

With these leaked conversations from Pelosi, Schumer, and Jefferies, it doesn't seem like the party thinks he's the candidate they're stuck with. Seems even the leadership feels they were kept in the dark about Biden's current state through the primaries.

My question is, who is ride or die for Biden at this point? The people I know on the left are voting against Trump, rather than for Biden or even for a Democrat, and have said they would vote for just about any Democrat with a pulse to beat Trump.

Is it the moderates? Maybe in 2020, when Biden was the familiar voice of reason running against a proven conman with four years of endless headlines of corruption and destruction of norms. But that's not what people have stored in their recent memory this time around, and it's not the Biden we have now. He can't string together a lucid rebuttal to the practiced silver tongue that seems to have half of America fooled.

This late in the game, the only way I see the Democrats beating Trump is if they win the same moderate voters who were sick of the uncertainty and disruptions of the Trump presidency, and Biden can't seem to coherently communicate the dangers of returning to that anymore. The Democrats need to put forward a candidate that remembers both the start of their sentences and points they were trying to make by the time they reach the end, even after 8pm.

Unfortunately that means we all eat gruel.

I voted Bernie. I still put this on the DNC establishment who basically rigged the whole thing.

Uh huh. Voting against someone who had proven that he wants to be a dictator and who had tried to overturn a fair election is "driving our democracy right off the cliff".

By the way, democracy shouldn't be capitalized. It's a concept, not a political party.

Yes, they are. They're suggesting Harris.
