Dan Pfeiffer: “Everyone is scared because the stakes of this election are too high — something made even more evident by the Supreme Court’s expansion of presidential power in their ruling on Monday. There are no easy answers. However, everyone on both sides of this internal fight operates in good faith. Everyone wants to beat Donald Trump and save democracy. They are only disagreeing about how best to do that. If President Biden remains our nominee — the most likely scenario by far — everyone will immediately come together and do everything they can to help him.”
“The debate is forcing us to have this conversation. It’s worth noting that political elites, pundits, and self-important podcasters are late to the game. Voters have been screaming about their concerns—fair or not—about Biden’s age for years now. The party avoided this conversation in late 2022 and early 2023 when the President declared he was running for reelection.”
