Nancy Pelosi and Other Lawmakers Leave the Door Open for Biden to Withdraw | 538 Politics Podcast

More Democrats are saying the president shouldn’t run, but he continues on.
The purgatory continues. The number of lawmakers saying President Biden should not run for reelection continues to tick up, while Biden’s answer -- that he is staying in the race -- remains the same. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, we look at data on which lawmakers are calling on Biden to step aside and who is continuing to support him.
The RNC also released its proposed platform this week and we use a good or bad use of polling example to better understand whether Trump’s (and Biden's) policies are popular.

Let's get Biden out and run Kamala Harris with Mike Levin or Bernie Sanders as VP.

[@covenant11]

[@susanb8354]

Biden is the most qualified person to be president. If President Biden chooses to withdraw, the only person to be similarly qualified is Hillary Clinton and I would vote for her with no hesitation as I did in 2016. I will happily vote for Kamala Harris in 2028 or support her presidency should Biden decide to retire early.

[@jdmo741]

How can you honestly believe Hillary Clinton would be a good idea?

[@Pafemanti]

Would you vote for Kamala now?

[@LN37275]

As a lifelong re- lifelong democrat, I also believe this would be a REALLY GOOD IDEA. You- I mean, we should DEFINITELY DO THIS.
