“Sick with Covid and abandoned by allies, President Biden has been fuming at his Delaware beach house, increasingly resentful about what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to drive him out of the race and bitter toward some of those he once considered close, including his onetime running mate Barack Obama,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Biden has been around politics long enough to assume that the leaks appearing in the media in recent days are being coordinated to raise the pressure on him to step aside… He considers Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker, the main instigator, but is irritated at Mr. Obama as well, seeing him as a puppet master behind the scenes.”
“The friction between the sitting president and leaders of his own party so close to an election is unlike anything seen in Washington in generations — especially because the Democrats now working to ease him out were some of the allies most critical to his success over the last dozen years.”
Washington Post: “The tense standoff between the president and his party set up a pivotal clash that is expected to intensify this weekend and could reach its culmination next week.”

Joe Biden has made his own “ unhappiness.”
It was obvious to me and many others months ago that his best days were long behind him, that he had slowed down considerably from his inauguration almost four years ago, that he is entering the winter of his life, that his own party was increasingly growing apprehensive as to his winning reelection,much less serving another term at the end of which he would be in his mid eighties.
He has had a good run .As I mentioned in an earlier post he has held public office on the national stage for almost 50 years. It’s time for him to exit the stage. He should have done so months ago.
His “ unhappiness “ is a result of his own ego and vanity.
It is time for him to go!
And if he doesn’t?
Then look for a total MAGA government.
And his place in history will be cemented as a vain, semi senile old man and people will look back on him with well deserved derision ala Richard Nixon.Though it will be said that at least Nixon finally knew it was time to go.
I don’t give a damn about Bidens “ unhappiness “ and the vast majority of Democrats don’t either ( contrary to the lies you read here).
