Yesterday while Joe Biden was on the campaign trail struggling to stay relevant and remain in the race for President, he was diagnosed with a mild case of COVID and chose to self-isolate at one of his homes in Delaware. Biden needed to be out pressing the flesh, stirring the masses, and exhibiting his physical stamina and mental acuity while leading the team toward victory, but instead he was sidelined with a malady that most of the country would like to forget.
It was a lousy day, and it came on the heels of a lousy week.
News reports this morning state that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the man who would be Speaker if the Democrats were to regain control of the House of Representatives this November, met with Biden last Thursday and told him that he should drop out of the race. On Saturday Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer traveled to Biden's summer home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and made the same plea to the President. Both prominent Democrats, Jeffries and Schumer, made it clear to the President that their conversations with him about the need to drop out of the presidential race would not remain confidential.
There is also a report out this morning that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has confronted President Biden to his face about the need for him to exit the race, and Pelosi's lap poodle, Rep. Adam Schiff of California who is running for the US Senate, yesterday publicly called for Biden to leave the race.
But the more pressure that party leaders exert on Joe Biden, the more stubborn he seems to become. They want him off of their ticket, and he wants them off of his lawn!
