House Dem on Biden: “speak your truth and not hide it”

February 16, 2023

POLITICO is out with an expose quoting numerous senior elected Democrats who are wringing their hands over President Biden’s hopes for a 2nd term. 

This begs the question: Do all House Dems feel this way?

Some notable quotes:

  • “Considering his age it’s absurd we’re not promoting competition but trying to extinguish it.”
  • “There was the senator who said few Democrats in the chamber want Biden to run again… get him off the ‘narcotic’ of the office.”
  • A “Democratic lawmaker who recalled speaking to Jill Biden and, hoping to plant a seed about a one-term declaration of victory… When I asked if I could use any of that on the record, the lawmaker shot back: ‘absolutely not.'”

Too bad there is not room here for the quotes bemoaning Kamala Harris…

NRCC National Press Secretary Will Reinert said: “Senior Democrats get it. The American people get it. Joe Biden’s presidency is a disaster for the country, and it’s time for every House Democrat to make their position known on Biden running for their party’s nomination unopposed.”
