It keeps getting funnier everytime.

"Biden needs to really consider whether he's going to stay in the tace or not."

"I'm 1000% staying in the race, god himself could not prevent me from running, I am confident I can win and ama not even considering stepping down"

"Joe Biden is running out of time to decide if he wants to step down or not."

It's an offer he can't refuse, and he's the last one in the room to realize it

Didn't this dipshit endorse Biden recently?

Now that he's no longer president and is powerless to do things himself, he's a grifter, his stance changes when popular opinion does

What's hilarious is I remember Obama begging for donations with Joe and now here we are.

Barfsack ocrumbo is about as close as it gets to God himself for democrats, if this doesn't work nothing will

Pretty sure the background narrative is this weekend, maybe next week, he's gonna announce he won't be accepting the nomination and Kamala will be running for president in his place

The obvious truth is he will not be getting nominated and it causes the least harm to the DNC overall if he willingly backs out rather than just be kicked out

I thought that when the covid diagnosis was released it was going to be his dignified way out but apparently he still needs to be pushed.
