For a few days, there was a brief silence in Democratic concern about Biden.
The debate about President Biden was silenced by the Trump assassination attempt.
What happened to Congressional Democrats' attempts to persuade President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign?
Despite the attempted assassination of former President Trump, there are still efforts to persuade Mr. Biden to drop out of the race. This is because there are lingering feelings that Trump and Republicans will defeat the Democrats in the upcoming election unless something changes.
Harold MacMillan, the Late British Prime Minister, believed that "events" were the most significant factor in politics. Over the weekend, there was a "shooting," which gave President Biden more time. However, if Democrats want to remove the president from the race, they must act quickly.
On Saturday afternoon, 19 Democrats demanded that President Biden step aside. Biden met virtually with the House Progressive Caucus and the "New Dems" Coalition. Thirteen of the 19 who called for the President to step down were members of the "New Dems." FOX reports that they expected a trickle of additional Democrats to call for Mr. Biden to step out of the race, and the number was likely to grow this week.
Until 6:05 pm ET Saturday, it was not known that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) had visited Mr. Biden in Rehoboth, Del., to discuss concerns Democrats had with the president.
Trump was shot at 6:11 pm et.
The "event" momentarily halted attempts to remove President Biden from the ballot.
"One senior House Democrat told FOX that the president has dug in, and they cannot have a circular firing squad."
The Trump shooting brought Republicans closer together, despite recent fractures in the party over Mr. Biden.
Recently, the Democrats have been known for their unity, but the president's poor debate in late June threatened that alliance.
"One House Democrat stated, "The exposed armor is being used by Republicans to attack us with their unity.""
That’s why Democrats are freaking out. Again.
Democrats are more concerned about their chances after the debate, as they believe the former President Trump's survival and iconic photo after the shooting helped boost his standing with voters.
The letter from Congressional Democrats to the DNC regarding the virtual roll call on August 7 has sparked a conversation about President Biden's viability on the ticket.
The assassination of Mr. Biden muted the debate about him being the Democratic standard-bearer this fall. However, the Democrats' worry about him never truly disappeared.
