At least one donor who attended the event and listened to Mr. Schiff’s remarks said he left dejected, believing that Mr. Biden’s chances of winning were now slim and that they should concentrate giving their time and money to downballot candidates in the hopes of salvaging something for the party.
I wonder how many prospective/Democrat candidates the party starved for funding and soundbytes that actually dropped out or stepped aside?
This is legit a leopards ate my face moment for Democrats. We need a new candidate!! Like who? One of those guys we told to get the fuck out of the way!
Blue maga seems like such a hard sell. Like, I get regular maga, Trump is an asshole, but he's got personality, he's entertaining, he's got all the things you'd need to be a cult leader effectively. Whereas Biden is basically the opposite of Trump personality wise.
Mr. Schiff, who has been among Mr. Trump’s most outspoken critics, said at the fund-raiser that Mr. Biden and his campaign staff had been generally unwilling to engage the views of outside pollsters and political experts and urged them to do so, the people with knowledge of his remarks said.

Mr. Biden’s campaign pointed to statements that it and the president’s allies had repeatedly made in recent days that he maintained strong support from members of Congress.
Only a relatively small number have publicly come out against Mr. Biden’s candidacy, the campaign said, noting support from members of groups like the Congressional Black Caucus.
Mr. Schiff rose to national prominence in 2019 as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee when he led the impeachment hearings against Mr. Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine.
The impeachment proceedings began after an intelligence community official seeking whistle-blower protections told lawmakers about a phone call Mr. Trump had with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

Mr.Biden could be heard mumbling to himself "I'm not dogmatic, only I can save America!" While standing in a corner facing a mannequin trying to shake its hand.
By acknowledging that Biden has absolutely no chance and needs to get the fuck over himself? If he actually cared about the country then he wouldn't be so dogmatic. It is not solid fact that he can win or that it needs to be him. There are other people who can do the job.
