‘#DumpBiden’ fervor swells

“#AdamSchiff today called on Biden to step aside as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate

“#Schiff said that a “second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Trump”

“Schiff is famously very tight with Nancy #Pelosi”

“Nearly two-thirds of Dems say #Biden should withdraw and let party nominate a different candidate, according to a new poll, sharply undercutting his post-debate claim that ‘average #Democrats’ are still with him even if some ‘big names’ are turning on him”

New Polling Bolsters ‘Dump Biden' push

Alternative Democratic candidates run ahead of President #Biden by an average of three points across the battleground states

Nearly every tested Democrat performs better than the President. This includes #KamalaHarris, who runs better than the President (but behind the average alternative)

Some of the gains are coming from winning undecideds and those previously supporting a third party.

However, alternative candidates are also pulling votes from Donald #Trump. All candidates continue to hold the Democratic base

Voters are looking for a fresh face

What's the deal with the #ditchBiden movement? Are there actual Democrats who support an open convention? I notice no one has suggested a name to replace him.

So far, the only people supporting the idea are red state democratic congressmen and internet leftists. Both of which need to make symbolic attacks on the mainstream of the party to keep their status.
