    Schiff said that by bowing out, Biden would “secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.”

    Schiff is a prominent Democrat on his own, and his statement will also be watched because of his proximity to Pelosi.

    It was Pelosi who revived questions about Biden post-debate, when she said recently that “it’s up to the president” to decide what to do — even though Biden had already fully stated he had no intention of stepping aside. The former House speaker publicly supports the president, but has fielded calls from Democrats since debate night questioning what’s next.

    It says a lot the only officials saying Biden should stay in…

    Are people he’s appointed to positions of power, and would likely be replaced by the new candidates people.

    Biden and his team are after personal power, not fighting fascism.
