They took a ‘time out’ after the Trump shooting….
But they’re back it as Biden & Co. seek to lock the President into the nomination….
Democratic members of Congress are reviving a fight over President Biden’s candidacy following a brief respite in the wake of Saturday’s assassination attempt against former President Trump, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Some lawmakers are uneasy about the Democratic National Committee’s plans to forge ahead with a virtual roll call vote to nominate Biden weeks before the Democratic convention.
- “People are back to being angry at Biden and a push to sign on to this letter is going around … the ‘replace Biden’ movement is back,” a House Democrat told Axios.
Driving the news: A letter circulating among congressional Democrats argues that there is “no legal justification” for an early virtual roll call after Ohio moved its filing deadline past the date of the Democratic convention.
- “We respectfully but emphatically request that you cancel any plans for an accelerated ‘virtual roll call’ and further refrain from any extraordinary procedures that could be perceived as curtailing legitimate debate,” it says.
- The DNC moved toward a virtual vote before the debate in response to Ohio threatening to not put Biden on the ballot because the party’s convention was after their deadline. Ohio changed the rule, but the DNC has pushed forward — arguing that the legislature could in theory reverse itself.
- “The suggestion that the timeline for the virtual roll call has been accelerated is false,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement to Axios. “The timeline for the virtual roll call process remains on schedule and unchanged from when the DNC made that decision in May.”….
It has been reported that on Saturday, shortly before the Trump shooting, Biden was on a call with House Democrats and he got very heated with them, yelling that his problems were their fault, because they are bad at selling his record.
Positively Trumpian.
HOT DAMN CG‼️
Me a LOT of people Have been WAITING FOR Joe Biden to GET MOTIVATED!….
Amen…..
There IS STILL some fight in the old timer……
So, is he right to blame Congressional Democrats for his unpopularity? They have not done enough to sell his agenda? The agenda he was completely unable to defend or articulate while standing on a debate stage in a confrontation he called for and you said he would easily win?
Republican “Unity”
Marc Robinson. The GOP nominee for Governor of North Carolina who recently said “some people need killing”–spoke at the RNC last night.
Then you have Sen. Ron Johnson–who delivered a hateful rant against LGBTQ Americans–who apparently had a softer gentler speech but said he couldn’t get it loaded in the teleprompter so just went with the OG.
And then there was Tim Scott. Who seemed to suggest Trump not getting shot was proof that he is capable of miracles.
Guess firefighters are just too mortal huh Tim? BTW How’s that fiance of yours?
