Worries over President Joe Biden's capacity to run a vigorous election campaign is casting a pall of dread over Democrats, with one senior lawmaker claiming that their colleagues have now "resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency." However, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was quick to rebuke the unnamed Democrat for their defeatist attitude.
"If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,” she wrote on X. “This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.”
