The Democratic National Committee is moving ahead with a plan to virtually nominate Joe Biden ahead of the Democratic convention in Chicago despite growing calls for him to step aside and as a new Associated Press poll shows nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to withdraw from the race following his disastrous debate with Donald Trump. Top Democrats including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are reportedly privately lobbying for Biden to step aside. With Biden as the presidential candidate, "Democrats have a vanishingly thin chance of recapturing the House," says Chris Lehmann, who rejoins us to discuss the "unprecedented" and contentious fight over Biden's reelectability occurring within the Democratic Party ahead of its convention next month.

Why doesn't Amy cover Green Party Dr. Jill Stein? Is she afraid her Dem donors would stop giving her money?
Didn't the Democrats know something like this was going to happen? What the heck was their attachment to Biden?
President Biden is Exactly what America 🇺🇸 needs to push forward!!!! 💙⚖️🇺🇸💯🗳️💙
Do you need another does of anti wokeness? Or have they manipulated and brainwashed your liberties freedom and mind completely. As long as they're in power, we don't have a voice. They're just hearding sheep. The Republicans are experts in that!
They are either getting greased along with the Biden Crime Family or they are brainwashed
The lights are on but nobody is home...anyway
We can tell.
Whenever y'all ready...
Politics should not be about... Them.
President Biden should just use this COVID diagnosis as an excuse to step down.
He hasn’t got Covid doh
Politics is a bunch of bull. Unity in the people
@@MariaReyes-wg5zx politics for who?
Still campaigning so probably not going to drop out.
We The People Have President Biden (BACK), because he has our BACKS!!!!! 💙🇺🇸⚖️💯🗳️💙
Two clowns running for the presidency, this is the state of things which does not reflect good on Americans.
Trump
Yup ... TRUMP 2024❕️ 🕊🕊🕊 ...period◾️◾️◾️

Biden. I'll step down if a medical condition emerges.
Covid result emerges.
May I se a medical certificate? The man has been vaccinated FIVE TIMES!
@@svennielsen633 I know you are trying to be funny but like other vaccines, they don't completely remove the possibility of infection but rather limit its severity.
🐟 what a waist.... Of life. We have more important issues to deal with.
Joe. It's time.
thank you. this has been the best and most succinct discussion of this issue as of today
😂😂😂 This excuse was planned and he is so demented, they can convince him he has COVID to force him out and get their Donor Class choice! I predicted this over 7 months ago.
The speech yesterday was well done...not demented...unlike like Trump
Don’t feed the trollskis.
Parlamentarism work better. The US have to much focus on only two persons, not policies.
Their policies are complete opposite Trump puts America First Biden puts America last.
The political system reflect the level of intelligence in a country. Just compare with UK or France.
@@svennielsen633except they never will have not even the 0.001% chance of actually begging a movement and electing a person into power. Too many kings and their peasants. But you speak about intelligence? It's literally the same inhumane dumbed down settlers politics here as in Europe.
You do know more than two parties exist. Plus the candidates not highlighted by mainstream. They're out there. Stop watching too much mainstream news ...
@@svennielsen633Britainers and ECT and brainwashed as hell then!
"Unprecedented" is a word people in the press use when they are afraid of stating their true opinion.
Genocide going on in Palestine. Cover of The Nation...an article about Marvel Comics. Let's be (un)serious.
The puppets who select these "leaders".
Dementia has a new name, Covid!
He doesn’t have Dementia
@@GG65667 I forgot that according to you Democrats he’s the sharpest knife in the drawer! And his senile and demented behavior is part of his charm!
@@GG65667 sundowners
Yup and clearly the parties owners also are suffering from it. When ever y'all are ready. I'm sick of their political games. Puppets!
If the idea of the self made man is a myth then to the same extent the claim that the self made man doesn't exist at all is also a myth.
Covid as their way out??!!
They are pitiful....Covid? Give me a break.
Hopes the elite stop eating their own shit and open their hearts and stop this shit show none sense.
@@BeckyJeanit's not the citizens fault or voters. But the two party system. The world should laugh at their bipartisan two party system because it isn't making sense. We all knew the majority, that Biden was bad for the party to begin with.
worked in 2020, why not now?
Hello can you cover the current scenario about student protests against the fascist government in Bangladesh?
Get well Joe❤️🩹💙💙💙
I agree. We need joe to be fit to face the criminal court about corruption and about his pedophilia crimes.

As she touches the left ear 👂 😂
"YOU KNOW"
Biden is a joke. What a circus. 😢
USA ... 2024 !
Leave the President alone and stop forcing him to resign.
Biden for President 2024.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
It's us the people that say that he must stay.
WE ARE THE VOTERS.
COVID? Lmao
More like capitalist. What are you laughing about it's your country in the end . Weather you're a democrat or republican. You should be more considerate and realize the bigger picture.
It is stupid though.
Mark Kelly and AOC ticket. Yes
At this time we need to have faith not just in ourselves but each other. Our hope and belief in each other is what has united us as a Nation. And our division will end the Democracy we seek to preserve. The current division serves as a distraction causing uncertainty at a time when we should be sharing common horizons, we survive together. Faith, heart and soul is what will restore Hope. We all carry the weight of brokenhearts that tell us so much has gone wrong. We've lost so much but we can at least return a little hope to each other and the world. That's the uniting goal, faith in each other for hope of a better future. Hope is the Fire that does not consume but illuminates, it will lead and unite us. If we listen to our hearts, it gives us an inner voice that will guide us to a better path. Our soul gives us the opportunity to truly embrace each other. Faith is the fight, we are the hope.

A speedy recovery to President. We will see what happens in a day's.
He's hiding in the basement again.
They just want to hide that he’s demented 😂
Is good post, Boris. Payment in usual spot behind park bench. So sorry is in rubles.
Rfk Jr 2024!
Nobody knows who that is
Covid ..... ‼️⁉️⁉️‼️⁉️‼️⁉️⁉️
Joke ByeDone 😂
Notification: your cash is making a comeback
We ALL KNOW the status quo is TOO AFRAID to allow actual strong democratic and independent leaders to run. The average individual citizen is left to choose the same system that enslaved them in the first place. Its a monopoly.
I thought Dementia Joe took 4 shots and 17 boosters how can he get Covid? 😂
??? You can get Covid with vaccines/boosters
It doesn't stop you from getting covid just stops you from being hospitalized from it, you would know that if you think before you type.
Joey forgot how many boosters he has taken 😧
Probably why his cognition abilities deteriorated. Besides the fact that he's a corrupted crook for the status quo and ECT...
He's out really a good thing the man wouldn't be able to finish another term
Hasn't even finished with this one and puppet Karen is already dying. Wtf
lmao and I'm the queen of England
Members of his own party are forcing him out
@Robert-ty3qi rightfully so. But ALSO remember they covered it up for a LONG time.
@@TheCullousus hs entire term
@Robert-ty3qi the corruption runs deep. Deeper than we can imagine I think sadly.
That's gratitude for you!!! Joe, you are the best. ONLY if Joe Wants to go-----We need you.
Puppet Karen is too weak. Not that he isn't disrespectful enough or not toxic enough. He isn't free minded enough. Probably led of life of mental slavery being a politician. And it surely is noticable.
😂 obviously they made that up
Some agencies making all the moves. Mf's and calling our movements "terrorist"
I supported Biden to stay in the race until now. I mean for how long will he stay in bed? And then what? Kamala Harris needs to assume the office and get elected as a candidate.
😅😅😅😅😅

Hey, here's the lowdown on your cash back and what's expected!
OMG...SHOW the Biden interview, it was a disaster. Covid......yeah ok...Joke
They are nuts stop pushing him to step down!
He can't do the job, so what would you advise?
So not sending out manic, hateful tweets constitutes as not doing the job?
@russkiy6ot who mentioned tweets?? He still has NOT closed the border, even after women and children have been raped, murdered by illegal criminals, that he is allowing to walk right in unvetted, votes mean more to Biden than human life, he's not made peace in the Middle East, or brought the sky-high inflation down. He still won't do the job a president should be doing for its citizens.
That's why we need Trump, we need a closed border, we need lower inflation, we need peace in the Middle East, Trump will give us these things again, Biden refuses.
@russkiy6ot so Biden sending out a message saying, "Time to put Trump in a bullseye. " ... that's ok?
Then Trump had an attempted assassination on him. Biden is the hateful mean one.
Explain why? Because unlike what Republicans believes. Democrats will be without a "strong" hahahah leader?.
💙💙💙💙💙Joe Biden💙💙💙💙💙💙
Sleepy joe got fired he is gone😂😂😂😂😂😂
Social security is a global program bring your own,not a corp tool for employment
Covidi 😂😂😂😂😂
But but but Covid is not a medical condition 😅
Mind as well leave the white house already... SMH 🤦🏾♂️
Put Sens Whitehouse and Sanders in the White House in 2024
I guess you were incapacitated in 2016 and 2020? Bernie won the nomination elections in both of those primary elections, but they nominated Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden regardless. Bernie sued the DNC, the court case came before a judge, the judge dismissed the case. The judge stated there is not court case because nothing illegal was done. The DNC can nominate anyone they want regardless of primary election results. In case you been out of the loop for a couple decades, the GOP, Democratic, No Labels, and Libertarian parties are all owned and operated by the plutocratic donors. We have not had a representative form of democracy since 1996. That is the year the balance of power tipped towards the plutocratic donors as they took complete and total control of our whole society. Since 1996, we have a donor owned plutocracy. Donors made their bribes with donation/contributions to campaign and PACs illegally until 2010 and 2012 when the SCOTUS made those contributions legal, secret, and unlimited. Our government is run on a system of legalized bribery. Every member of Congress is beholding to the big money donors who 'own' that party they run on. That means our entire Congress is owned and operated by the big donors. Even Bernie Sanders is part of this donor owned charade. Bernie Sanders will never get a nomination from the DNC. Bernie Sanders makes the big donors nervous with all of his faux progressive siren song singing. You can talk all of the progressive talk you want, but complicit acquiescence to the party donor owners is expected. Noncompliance to the donors' wishes could mean you will be primaried out of office. Since the DNC and RNC holds the ultimate nomination authority, they hold the keys to power on who is in Congress. So, people like AOC, Porter, Whitehouse, and other faux progressive people in Congress are tolerated for their false charade playing value. You have Rep. Porter displayed often in the media feigning her false progressive siren song charades, these charades give an air of authenticity to all of Congress, when in reality, nothing is done in Congress that is not approved by the donors. That means the Justice Democrats, AOC, and her so called progressive caucus are all charade players faking their progressivism in the putrid fetid bowels of the wholly donor owned Congress. The Justice Democrats are just democrats. They receive the donor money exactly like any other member of Congress, regardless of party affiliation.

@@nedflanders5649and for ever. Does not exist.? 🤡
He has COVID he should be care for.But stop bullying him to drop out.Biden will win.
Stop being a comfortist, and worry about actually acting and being free. Isn't that what your country and society is based off of. Lol the irony and hypocrisy in that. A contradiction.
THEN ELECT A STRONGER LEADER!!! (SCREAMING VOICE)
Michelle Obama, quit being selfish!!! Please, you spoke about your children. But what about the countries future children? Show the sorry losing side and the entire world what a free and strong people we actually are. Trust me, the people are with you.
Stop! And no, Jill Stein won’t win so let’s vote blue!
Democrats for Trump!!!
Vote for greens
@@kevinaguilar7541 Joe is the vegetable
@ssb1056 that's still not a reason to vote blue. if you want someone to vote for you, you have to have a good candidate.
I actually don’t care if Jill won’t win. I will vote for her anyway so that I am on record that I don’t consent to the way the nation is governed.
And it is Ironic that Jill Stein is the only Jewish person running for president and has clearly protested the Israeli government.
Kamala Harris for President
Wow im glad Biden WAS ALLOWED to drop out 😂 and won't humiliated what the country stands for. Real freedom and democracy.
Joe was never on the trail
Put grandpa back in the basement. Keep grandpa incommunicado. That strategy won Grandpa the White House before. That strategy may succeed again.
This is old
If Biden drops out, Harris and Obama as VP.
@@Keepthepeacesharethelove oh wow you really are clueless 💩

To the grave? Sounds like a person who has lost all hope would desperately say.
Sorry you lost hope in all other freedom. Society needs a change. And no one can but bring that change forward other than a strong political leader. I don't mean cowardice, manipulation & lies. But probably somebody both mentally and physically even spiritual strong to combat and challenge the powers that be.
