An Intervention for Joe Biden

Biden drop-out watch: On the heels of an Associated Press/NORC poll that suggests nearly two-thirds of Democrats want President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race for the White House, and following both Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (both of New York) exerting some influence over the Democratic Party powers that be, officials announced yesterday that plans to officially nominate Biden as the nominee have been pushed back a week.

But that's still not good enough for the many members of the Democratic Party—especially legislators and megadonors—who want Biden to commit to dropping out and now seem to be leaking information about their private meetings with him in an attempt to mount public pressure, and possibly to signal to less powerful Democrats that it's OK to publicly oppose the man.
