Joe Biden said he will opt out of the presidential race only if the Almighty Lord tells him to do so but the Democrats, as reported by Axios, want a more earthly intervention to ‘beg’ Biden to drop out by this Friday. A top Democratic operative said every single person not named Biden or paid by the president knows how a deep hole he’s in.
The CNN debate took place 10 days ago; the ABC debate two days ago — but Democratic lawmakers have gone from “shock, to sadness, to madness”.A House Democrat said the sh*t is going to hit the fan Monday when Congress returns.
Speculation over Biden’s health — Parkinson’s symptoms
Amid concerns over Biden’s heath, reports claimed that Joe Biden’s doctor met with a leading Parkinson’s disease specialist at the White House earlier this year. Dr Kevin Cannard, a top neurologist, met with Biden’s physician Dr Kevin O’Connor on January 17 and has visited the White House a further seven times in the last year. Biden’s official health report published in February said he was fit and mentioned that a detailed neurological test was also carried out.
The White House dismissed all concerns over Biden’s health and said the president functions smoothly during the daytime between 10 am to 4 pm.
Biden’s next major test in the public will be a press conference scheduled for Thursday, during the NATO summit.
So far, five Democratic lawmakers have called on Biden to drop out, with the drumbeat of dissent slowly rising. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, a close Biden ally, stressed he believes Biden can still recover and win. But he said “the president needs to do more,” including unscripted events like town hall gatherings, to reassure voters he has the mental acuity and physical fitness for a second term.
“I think this week is going to be absolutely critical,” Murphy told CNN’s Sunday talk show “State of the Union,” adding he believes there are many voters who need to be convinced of Biden’s capabilities.
First Lady Jill Biden, who — according to some US media reports — is urging her husband to stay in the race, is scheduled to campaign for him Monday in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina.
