“President Joe Biden’s political world is collapsing. Top allies have either publicly or privately called on him to step aside. Major donations have fallen off a cliff. Grassroots fundraising is not keeping up with the demands of a campaign that needs to aggressively scale up three months before the presidential election. Members of his own re-election effort have already declared he has no path to victory,” NBC News reports.
“Since a disastrous debate in Atlanta upended the trajectory of his campaign three weeks ago, Biden has again and again attempted to dig in, bucking efforts to dislodge him from power.”
“But there is now a palpable sense that the ground has shifted underneath him, according to five people with knowledge of the situation, even among some of the president’s most defiant backers internally who now believe the writing is on the wall.”
Said a person close to Biden: “We’re close to the end.”
Punchbowl News: “On Capitol Hill, even Biden’s most staunch allies are beginning to privately say that his time is up. We expect many more defections in the next few days if Biden doesn’t act first.”
