‘Everyone’s waiting for Joe.’ Will he throw his support to Kamala Harris or ask for an open convention?
It makes me sad that Biden doesn’t see what’s inescapable: He will probably go down as a pariah if he doesn’t walk away gracefully right nowJoe Biden risks ruining his legacy if he does not walk away gracefully right now.

As for those DC careerists surrounding Biden who a) hid his true condition, b) gaslit the press for focusing on what they called a nonexistent age issue, c) shielded the president from the truth about his cratering chances of winning and d) seem to have put their self-interest first?Shockingly, even as the Republicans roar out of Milwaukee, vibrating with joy, Biden’s brains trust continues to run a lousy campaign, as if nothing has changed.
At the convention, I went to a “Policy Fest” held by the Heritage Foundation – the folks devising the extreme Project 2025 – and their vision for America is very creepy and retrogressive.This is already over.
Obama always seems to be leading Biden off the stage – even at that glossy Hollywood fundraiser – and Biden resents it. He doesn’t want to have that awful feeling like he had in 2016 when he watched Trump beat Clinton, after he had stepped aside. She loves Biden – he was more grateful for her help than Obama was and more effusive in his praise – but she loves the House more. She refuses to let the president burn it down for the sake of his ego and make it easy for Trump to slouch back to Washington with messianic, vengeful dreams.
