It’s Come to This — Democrats Must Rely on the Good Judgment and Discernment of Joe Biden

What could go wrong?

On Meet the Press yesterday morning, Adam Schiff didn’t call on Joe Biden to drop out.

Instead, he strongly hinted that the president should exit the race, and suggested that he begin consulting a wider circle of people about his fate. Schiff still stipulated, “Ultimately, this is a decision President Biden is going to have to make and President Biden alone.”

It’s that bad, huh?

Perhaps this week, Democrats like Schiff will begin to apply stronger medicine and say directly that Biden needs to end his campaign. Even then, though, there’s no lever for forcing out the president. Democrats will have to hope that a man whose judgment has never been good and who is now in marked decline will decide to make a humiliating retreat at a time when he is, on paper at least, the most powerful person on the planet.
