Joe Biden, allies furious as Democrats try to push him out: ‘They’re Julius Caesar-ing this man’

Alternative Campaign Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket appeared to gain major momentum this week, as senior Democrats called publicly on the president’s resignation and others did their known emotion through channels that aren’t too roundabout. But the campaign says Biden is definitely staying in the race—and those trying to push him out should take a hard look in the mirror.

“Can we remember for a minute that the people who are trying to push Joe Biden out are the same people who really gave us everything Donald Trump,” a source close to Biden speak NBC News. “In 2015, [Barack] Obama, [Nancy] Pelosi, [Chuck] Schumer push Biden aside to support Hillary [Clinton]; They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now.” Noting polls showing Clinton up by as much as nine points, the source added: “How did all this play out for people in 2016? Maybe we should learn a few lessons from 2016; one is that the polls are BS—just ask Secretary Clinton. And two, maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden has more of a connection with real Americans than Obama-Pelosi-Schumer?”

Speaking to Politico, a former Biden campaign and administration aide declare: “People who have known this man for 30, 40 years are stabbing this man from the front and the back.… They are Julius Caesar–ing this man.” For his part, Biden is speak feels “angry” and “personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats…have abandoned him,” according to NBC News. And, although report Earlier this week, the president said he had “become more open over the last few days to hearing arguments about why he should abandon his re-election bid,” making it clear he has not changed his mind.

Appearing on MSNBC this morning, campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon speak Morning Joe said Biden was “in it to win” and believed “he can do this.”

Unfortunately for Biden, it’s clear that not everyone agrees. On Friday, four other House Democrats publicly called on him to “pass the torch.”

And according to NBC News, there could be a “bigger push” from the party if Biden doesn’t drop out on Monday. On Friday, Biden, who is isolating in Delaware after testing positive for COVID, speak He said he would “return to the campaign trail next week” to defend “my own record and the vision that I have for America.”
