Democrat Disarray

Politico published a report today, saying that White House aides are terrified of Joe Biden’s temper. They often keep bad news out of his daily briefing books and only give him good news.

One senior official said, “It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult.”

Meanwhile, the Biden campaign is facing a revolt among the party’s donor class after Thursday’s debate trainwreck. The Washington Post reports that an informal poll among top donors found that their preferred path forward was “Plan B” – a new nominee. Some big donors are even demanding refunds.

Biden’s top campaign officials have been scrambling to smack down any talk of finding a new nominee while struggling to explain how they can recover from the debate.

The Biden campaign did make one thing clear: If Joe Biden withdraws from the race, “Plan B” is Kamala Harris. She is the only one who can use the vast Biden/Harris war chest.

But the damage control efforts by the Biden team don’t appear to be working. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas just became the first elected Democrat to call on Joe Biden to bow out of the presidential race.
